copy This command moves (upload/download) a code image or configuration file
between the switch’s flash memory and an FTP/FTPS/SFTP/TFTP server. When you
save the system code or configuration settings to a file on an FTP/FTPS/SFTP/TFTP
server, that file can later be downloaded to the switch to restore system operation.
The success of the file transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP/FTPS/SFTP/
TFTP server and the quality of the network connection.
