URLs

The arguments for the 7210 SAS OS file commands are modeled after standard universal resource
locator (URL). A URL refers to a file (a file-url) or a directory (a directory-url).
7210 SAS OS supports operations on both the local file system and on remote files. For the
purposes of categorizing the applicability of commands to local and remote file operations, URLs
are divided into three types of URLs: local, ftp and tftp. The syntax for each of the URL types are
listed in

Table 12: URL types and Syntax

URL Type
local-url [cflash-id:\]path
[usb-flash-id:\]path
ftp-url ftp://[username[:password]@]host/path
ftp://[username[:password]@]host/./path
tftp-url tftp://host[/path]/filename
The system accepts either forward slash ("/") or backslash ("\") characters to delimit directory and/
or filenames in URLs. Similarly, the 7210 SAS OS SCP client application can use either slash or
backslash characters, but not all SCP clients treat backslash characters as equivalent to slash
characters. In particular, UNIX systems will often times interpret the backslash character as an
"escape" character. This can cause problems when using an external SCP client application to send

7210 SAS also autodetects the device type when any of the supported devices are
connected to the USB interface. Only approved USB mass storage device and optical clip-
on devices can be plugged in to the USB port and are recognized as valid devices. All
other unsupported devices will result in an error log being printed.
It is highly recommended to use the "shutdown" command before removing the USB
storage device.
