Managing the file system
This chapter describes how to manage the device's file system, including the storage media, directories,
and files.
IMPORTANT:
• Before managing storage media, files, and directories, make sure you know the possible impacts.
• A file or directory whose name starts with a period (.) is considered a hidden file or directory. Do no
t
give a common file or directory a name that starts with a period.
• Some system files and directories are hidden.
File name formats
When you specify a file, enter the file name in one of the formats shown in Table 11 and Table 12. When
you specify a directory, follow the rules for the drive and path arguments.

file-name
Specifies a file in the current working
directory.
a.cfg indicates a file named a.cfg in the
current working directory.
This working directory might be on the
active MPU or standby MPU.
[path/]file-name
Specifies a file in a specific folder in
the current working directory.
The path argument represents the
path to the file. If the file is in a
single-level folder, specify the folder
name for the argument. If the file is in
a nested folder, separate each folder
name by a forward slash (/).
• test/a.cfg indicates a file named a.cfg
in the test folder in the current working
directory.
• test/subtest/a.cfg indicates a file
named a.cfg in the subtest subfolder of
the test folder in the current working
directory.
drive:/[path]/file-name
Specifies a file in a specific storage
medium.
The drive argument represents the
storage medium name.
The storage medium on the active
MPU is typically flash.
The storage medium on the standby
MPU is typically slotn#flash, where n
represents the number of the slot that
hosts the standby MPU, for example,
slot5#flash. To view the
correspondence between an MPU
and its slot number, use the display
device command.
• flash:/test/a.cfg indicates a file named
a.cfg in the test folder in the root
directory of the Flash on the active MPU.
• slot5#flash:/a.cfg indicates a file
named a.cfg in the root directory of the
Flash on the standby MPU.
