Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# copy tftp://1.1.1.1/images/casr14k-mcast-p.pie disk1:

Description
TFTP is a simplified version of FTP that allows files to be
transferred from one computer to another over a network,
usually without the use of client authentication (for
example, username and password).
FTP is an application protocol, part of the TCP/IP
protocol stack, and is used for transferring files between
network nodes. FTP requires a username and password.
The rcp protocol allows users to copy files to and from a
file system residing on a remote host or server on the
network. The rcp protocol uses TCP to ensure the reliable
delivery of data. The rcp protocol downloads require a
username.
