Usage
The filename and file:filename URLs are equivalent. You can use either URL to refer to a
file in a WSS’s nonvolatile memory. The tftp://ip-addr/filename URL refers to a file on a TFTP
server. If DNS is configured on the WSS, you can specify a TFTP server’s hostname as an
alternative to specifying the IP address.
The tmp:filename URL specifies a file in temporary storage. You can copy a file out of temporary storage but
you cannot copy a file into temporary storage. Temporary storage is reserved for use by WSS Software.
If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the filename must be preceded by the boot
partition name, which can be boot0 or boot1. Enter the filename as boot0:/filename or boot1:/filename. You
must specify the boot partition that was not used to load the currently running image.
The maximum supported file size for TFTP is 32 MB.
source-url Name and location of the file to copy. The uniform resource locator
(URL) can be one of the following:
•[subdirname/]filename
• file:[subdirname/]filename
• tftp://ip-addr/[subdirname/]filename
• tmp:filename
For the filename, specify between 1 and 128 alphanumeric characters,
with no spaces. Enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation.
The subdirname/ option specifies a subdirectory.
destination-url Name of the copy and the location where to place the copy. The URL can
be one of the following:
•[subdirname/]filename
• file:[subdirname/]filename
• tftp://ip-addr/[subdirname/]filename
If you are copying a system image file into nonvolatile storage, the
filename must include the boot partition name. You can specify one of the
following:
• boot0:/filename
• boot1:/filename
