Copy Files to and from the System

The command syntax for copying files is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url destination-file-url.

NOTE For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the Dell EMC Networking OS Command Reference.

To copy a local file to a remote system, combine the file-origin syntax for a local file location with the file-destination syntax for a remote file location.
To copy a remote file to Dell EMC Networking system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file location with the file-destination syntax for a local file location.

Important Points to Remember
