8.3.1 Transferring Core Snapshots
Use the Transfer screen to define a source for transferring core snapshot files to a secure location for
potential archive.
To transfer core snapshots to a user defined location:
1. Select Diagnostics > Core Snapshots from the main menu tree.
2. Select a target file, and select the Transfer Files button.
3. Use the From drop-down menu to specify the location from which the log file is sent.
If only the applet is available as a transfer location, use the default switch option.
4. Select a target file for the file transfer from the File drop-down menu.
The drop-down menu contains the core files listed within the File-Mgmt screen.
5. Use the To drop-down menu (within the Target field) to define whether the target log file is to be sent
to the system's local disk (Local Disk) or to an external server (Server).
6. Provide the name of the file to be transferred to the location specified within the File field.
7. If Server has been selected as the target, use the Using drop down-menu to configure whether the
log file transfer will be sent using FTP or TFTP.
8. If Server has been selected as the target, enter the IP Address of destination server or system
receiving the target log file.
9. If Server has been selected as the target, enter the User ID credentials required to send the file to
the target location. Use the user ID for FTP transfers only.
10. If Server has been selected as the target, enter the Password required to send the file to the target
location using FTP.
11. Specify the appropriate Path name to the target directory on the local system disk or server as
configured using the "To" parameter. If the local disk option is selected, use the browse button to
specify the location on the local disk.
12. Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays
error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
13. Click the Transfer button when ready to move the target file to the specified location. Repeat the
process as necessary to move each desired log file to the specified location.
14. If a problem occurs during the file transfer, the process can be stopped by clicking the Abort button.
15. Click the Close button to exit the screen after a transfer. There are no changes to save or apply.
