Preparing to Upload an Image to an rcp Server

Before you attempt to upload a software image to an rcp server, do the following:

Uploading Software Images to an rcp Server

To upload a software image on a switch to an rcp server for storage, perform these steps:
Step 1 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Upload the software image to the rcp server using the copy flash rcp command. When prompted, specify
Step 2
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:
Console> (enable) copy flash rcp
Flash device [bootflash]? slot0:
Name of file to copy from []? cat6000-sup.5-3-1.bin
IP address or name of remote host [172.20.52.3]? 172.20.52.10
Name of file to copy to [cat6000-sup.5-3-1.bin]?
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC|
File has been copied successfully.

Downloading Software Images Over a Serial Connection on the

These sections describe how to perform a serial download of software images over the supervisor engine
console port using Kermit, a popular file-transfer and terminal-emulation software program:

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.
