All files have read-write permission. Several SFTP commands, such as
■
create or remove, are not allowed and return an error message. The
switch displays the following files:
/
+---cfg
|
running-config
|
startup-config
+---log
|
crash-data
|
crash-log
|
event log
+---os
|
primary
|
secondary
\---ssh
+---mgr_keys
|
authorized_keys
\---oper_keys
authorized_keys
Once you have configured your switch for secure file transfers with SCP and
SFTP, files can be copied to or from the switch in a secure (encrypted)
environment and TFTP is no longer necessary.
Using Xmodem to Download Switch Software From a
PC or UNIX Workstation
This procedure assumes that:
The switch is connected via the Console RS-232 port to a PC operating as
■
a terminal. (Refer to the Installation and Getting Started Guide you
received with the switch for information on connecting a PC as a terminal
and running the switch console interface.)
■
The switch software is stored on a disk drive in the PC.
The terminal emulator you are using includes the Xmodem binary transfer
■
feature. (For example, in the HyperTerminal application included with
Windows NT, you would use the Send File option in the Transfer dropdown
menu.)
Menu: Xmodem Download to Primary Flash
Note that the menu interface accesses only the primary flash.
