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 Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide .

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 Networking system, combine the file-origin syntax for a remote file location with the file-destination syntax for a local file location.

Table 1. Forming a `copy` Command
Location	source-file-url Syntax	destination-file-url Syntax
Internal flash: `flash`	`copy flash: //filename`	`flash: //filename`
USB flash: `usbflash`	`usbflash: //filename`	`usbflash: //filename`
For a remote file location: FTP server	`copy ftp: //username:password@{hostip \| hostname}/filepath/filename`	`ftp: //username:password@{hostip \| hostname}/ filepath/filename`
For a remote file location: TFTP server	`copy tftp: //{hostip \| hostname}/filepath/ filename`	`tftp: //{hostip \| hostname}/filepath/filename`
For a remote file location: SCP server	`copy scp: //{hostip \| hostname}/filepath/ filename`	`scp: //{hostip \| hostname}/filepath/filename`

Important Points to Remember

You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
When copying to a server, you can only use a hostname if you configured a domain name server (DNS) server.

NOTE: If all of the following conditions are true, the Portmode Hybrid configuration is not applied, because of the configuration process for server ports as switch ports by default:
- The running configuration is saved in flash.
- The startup configuration is deleted.
- The switch is reloaded.
- The saved configuration is copied to the running configuration.
To avoid this scenario, delete the switch port configuration from the running configuration before copying the saved configuration to the running configuration.

Example of Copying a File to an FTP Server

The bold flash shows the local location and the bold ftp shows the remote location.
