command in EXEC mode.

• md5: MD5 message-digest algorithm

• sha256: SHA256 Secure Hash Algorithm

• flash: (Optional) Specifies the flash drive. The default is to use the flash drive. You can just enter the

Using HTTP for File Transfers

Stating with Release 9.3(0.1), you can use HTTP to copy files or configuration details to a remote server.

Use the copy source-file-url http://host[:port]/file-path command to transfer files to an external server.

Enter the following source-file-url keywords and information:

• To copy a file from the internal FLASH, enter flash:// followed by the filename.

• To copy the running configuration, enter the keyword running-config.

• To copy the startup configuration, enter the keyword startup-config.

• To copy a file on the external FLASH, enter usbflash:// followed by the filename.
