Flash/File Commands
Command Usage
• The system prompts for data required to complete the copy
command.
• Only a configuration file can be uploaded to an FTP/TFTP server, but
every type of file can be downloaded to the access point.
• HP recommends not changing the name of a software file when
downloading a new software. This name helps to quickly identify the
software revision that the file contains.
• Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the access point supports
only two software files.
• The configuration file name extension also needs to be specified. To
avoid overwriting files on the server, it is recommended to add the
“.txt” extension to the file name for readable text configuration files
and the “.bin” extension for binary files.
