Uploading Software Images to an rcp Server

Use this procedure to upload a software image on a switch to an rcp server for storage:
Step 1 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 2 Upload the software image to the rcp server using the copy flash rcp command. When prompted, specify
the rcp server address, and destination filename. On platforms that support the Flash file systems, you
are first prompted for the Flash device and source filename, If desired, you can use the copy file-id rcp
command on these platforms.
The software image is uploaded to the rcp server.
This example shows how to upload the supervisor engine software image to an rcp server:

Ensure that the workstation acting as the rcp server is configured properly.
Ensure that the switch has a route to the rcp server. The switch and the rcp server must be in the
same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to
the rcp server using the ping command.
If you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one), ensure that
the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be write for the specific
username.
