Managing Files on the Controller
You can transfer the following types of files between the controller and an external server or host:
l ArubaOS image file
l A specified file in the controller’s flash file system, or a compressed archive file that contains the entire
content of the flash file system.
You back up the entire content of the flash file system to a compressed archive file, which you can then copy from the
flash system to another destination.
l Configuration file, either the active running configuration or a startup configuration.
l Log files.
You can use the following protocols to copy files to or from a controller:
l File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Standard TCP/IP protocol for exchanging files between computers.
l Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP): Software protocol that does not require user authentication and is
simpler to implement and use than FTP.
l Secure Copy (SCP): Protocol for secure transfer of files between computers that relies on the underlying
Secure Shell (SSH) protocol to provide authentication and security.
You can use SCP only for transferring image files to or from the controller, or transferring files between the flash file
system on the controller and a remote host. The SCP server or remote host must support SSH version 2 protocol.
The following table lists the parameters that you configure to copy files to or from a controller.
