Information
FTOS supports a maximum of 100 files, at the root directory level, on both the internal and external
Flash.
The usbflash commands are supported. For a list of approved USB vendors, refer to the FTOS Release
Notes.
When copying a file to a remote location (for example, using Secure Copy [SCP]), enter only the
keywords and FTOS prompts you for the rest of the information.
For example, when using SCP, you can enter copy running-config scp:
The running-config is the source, and the target is specified in the ensuing prompts. FTOS prompts you
to enter any required information, as needed for the named destination—remote destination,
destination filename, user ID and password, etc.
When you use the copy running-config startup-config command to copy the running configuration
(the startup configuration file amended by any configuration changes made since the system was
started) to the startup configuration file, FTOS creates a backup file on the internal flash of the startup
configuration.
FTOS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server or to an FTP server:
copy running-config tftp:
copy running-config ftp:
