Copying the Configuration File to the disk0: File System

OL-11157-01
When you select a destination file system using ftp:, sftp:, or tftp:, the ACE
performs the following tasks:
Prompts you for your username and password if the destination file system
•
requires user authentication.
Prompts you for the server information if you do not provide the information
•
with the command.
Copies the file to the root directory of the destination file system if you do not
•
provide the path information.
For example, to save a startup-configuration file to a remote FTP server, enter:
host1/Admin# copy running-config
ftp://192.168.1.2/running-config_Adminctx
Enter username[]? user1
Enter the file transfer mode[bin/ascii]: [bin]
Password: password1
Passive mode on.
Hash mark printing on (1024 bytes/hash mark).
####
The bin (binary) file transfer mode is intended for transferring compiled files
(executables). The ascii file transfer mode is intended for transferring text files,
such as config files. The default selection of bin should be sufficient in all cases
when copying files to a remote FTP server.
After you create or update the running-configuration file or the
startup-configuration file, you can copy the file to the disk0: file system in Flash
memory on the ACE by using the following commands:
To save the contents of the running-configuration file to the disk0: file system,
•
use the copy running-config disk0: command in Exec mode.
To save the contents of the startup-configuration file to the disk0: file system, use
•
the copy startup-config disk0: command in Exec mode.
The syntax for the command is:
copy {running-config | startup-config} disk0:[path/]filename
