Example

HP420#
copy
This command copies a boot file or software file between an FTP/TFTP server
and the access point’s flash memory. It also allows you to upload a copy of the
configuration file from the access point’s flash memory to an FTP/TFTP server.
When you save the configuration settings to a file on an FTP/TFTP server, that
file can later be downloaded to the access point to restore system operation.
The success of the file transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP/TFTP
server and the quality of the network connection.
