Downloading a Configuration File By Using FTP
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to download a configuration file by using FTP:
Command
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3 configure terminal
Step 4 ip ftp username username
Step 5
ip ftp password password
Step 6
end
Step 7 copy
ftp:[[[//[username[:password]@]location]/directory]
/filename] system:running-config
or
copy
ftp:[[[//[username[:password]@]location]/directory]
/filename] nvram:startup-config
This example shows how to copy a configuration file named host1-confg from the netadmin1 directory
on the remote server with an IP address of 172.16.101.101 and to load and run those commands on the
switch:
Switch# copy ftp://netadmin1:mypass@172.16.101.101/host1-confg system:running-config
Configure using host1-confg from 172.16.101.101? [confirm]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Loading 1112 byte file host1-confg:![OK]
Switch#
%SYS-5-CONFIG: Configured from host1-config by ftp from 172.16.101.101
This example shows how to specify a remote username of netadmin1. The software copies the
configuration file host2-confg from the netadmin1 directory on the remote server with an IP address
of 172.16.101.101 to the switch startup configuration.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# ip ftp username netadmin1
Switch(config)# ip ftp password mypass
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy ftp: nvram:startup-config
Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 172.16.101.101
Name of configuration file[rtr2-confg]? host2-confg
Configure using host2-confg from 172.16.101.101?[confirm]
Connected to 172.16.101.101
Loading 1112 byte file host2-confg:![OK]
[OK]
Switch#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_NV:Non-volatile store configured from host2-config by ftp from
172.16.101.101
78-17058-01
Purpose
Verify that the FTP server is properly configured by referring
to the "Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration
File By Using FTP" section on page
Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet
session.
Enter global configuration mode on the switch.
This step is required only if you override the default remote
username or password (see Steps 4, 5, and 6).
(Optional) Change the default remote username.
(Optional) Change the default password.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Using FTP, copy the configuration file from a network server
to the running configuration or to the startup configuration
file.
