Copying Files to and from the System

destination-file-url.
NOTE: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
● To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the file-destination syntax
for a remote file location.

Important Points to Remember
● You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
● You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
● When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if a domain name server (DNS) server is configured.
● After you insert a USB memory device into the USB port on an S5000 and enter the format usbflash:// command, to
erase all existing files and reformat the file system on the device, allow the process to run to completion before removing the
device from the USB port. If you remove the USB memory device before the formatting is complete, the Dell Networking OS
may not recognize the file system on the device.
