you can use the copy command, the remote FTP server, or the remote TFTP server
to transfer files.
For example, you can transfer a file from a network host to an E Series router through
FTP, and then transfer the file through the copy command from the E Series router
to other E Series routers. See Figure 22 on page 301.

Copying and Redirecting Files
You have two options for copying or redirecting files to or from a remote FTP or
TFTP server:
If you include the remote file data, the copy command contains a source and
destination filename, either of which (but not both) can be remote files. The following
URL format is supported for both source and destination files:
The location can be a hostname or an IP address.
RFC 959 File Transfer Protocol (FTP) (October 1985)
RFC 1350 Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) (Revision 2) (July 1992)
Include all remote file data in the copy command. You can specify remote files
using the URL format and the file redirect option for the related show commands.
Use the host command to define the host and the appropriate file transfer
protocol. FTP is the default if you do not specify a file transfer protocol or when
Domain Name System (DNS) service is used to map IP addresses to the hostname.
protocol://[username [:password]@]location[/directory]/filename
