You create and access files on bootflash:. volatile:, slot0:, usb1:, and usb2: file systems. You can only access

You can download files, such as system image files, from remote servers using FTP, Secure Copy (SCP),
Secure Shell FTP (SFTP), and TFTP. You can also copy files from an external server to the device, because
the device can act as an SCP server.
