Extracting A Tar File - Cisco WS-C3560-48PS-S Software Configuration Manual

Appendix B Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
This example shows how to display the contents of a switch tar file that is in Flash memory:
Switch# archive tar /table flash:c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1.tar
info (219 bytes)
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/ (directory)
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/html/ (directory)
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1.bin (610856 bytes)
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/info (219 bytes)
This example shows how to display only the /html directory and its contents:
Switch# archive tar /table flash:c3560-tv0-m.tar c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/html
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/html/ (directory)
c3560-i5-mz.121-19.EA1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)

Extracting a tar File

To extract a tar file into a directory on the Flash file system, use this privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /xtract source-url flash:/file-url [dir/file...]
For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local file system. These options are supported:
•
•
•
•
The tar-filename.tar is the tar file from which to extract files.
For flash:/file-url [dir/file...], specify the location on the local Flash file system into which the tar file
is extracted. Use the dir/file... option to specify an optional list of files or directories within the tar file
to be extracted. If none are specified, all files and directories are extracted.
This example shows how to extract the contents of a tar file located on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30.
This command extracts just the new-configs directory into the root directory on the local Flash file
system. The remaining files in the saved.tar file are ignored.
Switch# archive tar /xtract tftp:/172.20.10.30/saved.tar flash:/new-configs
78-16156-01
For the local Flash file system, the syntax is
flash:
For the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the syntax is
ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
For the Remote Copy Protocol (RCP), the syntax is
rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
For the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), the syntax is
tftp:[[//location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
