H3C s3100 series Command Manual page 867

Parameters
tftp-server: IP address or the host name of a TFTP server, a string of 1 to 20 characters. If the switch
belongs to a cluster, the value cluster means to connect to the TFTP server of the cluster. For the
configuration of the TFTP server of a cluster, refer to the Cluster part in this manual.
source-file: Name of the file to be downloaded from the TFTP server.
dest-file: File name used when a file is downloaded and saved to the switch.
Description
Use the tftp get command to download a file from a TFTP server, and save it to the local storage
device.
Different from the FTP function, the working directory of a TFTP server cannot be changed or specified
on a TFTP client. To enter another working directory, you need to modify the working directory on the
TFTP server and relog in.
The H3C S3100 series switch supports the TFTP file size negotiation function, namely, before
downloading a file, the switch requests the size of the file to be downloaded to the TFTP server, thus to
ensure whether there is enough space on the Flash for file downloading. If the TFTP server also
supports the function, when the file size is too large, the switch can know this in advance and stops the
download operation to save network resources; if the TFTP server does not support the function, the
switch can only download the file to its memory, and delete the file if it finds the file is too large when
writing the file to the Flash.
Related commands: tftp put.
