Copying Image Files By Using Rcp - Cisco WS-CBS3032-DEL Software Configuration Manual

Step 7
archive upload-sw
ftp:[[//[username[:password]@]location]/directory]/
image-name.tar.
The archive upload-sw command builds an image file on the server by uploading these files in order:
info, the Cisco IOS image, and the web management files. After these files are uploaded, the upload
algorithm creates the file format.
For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image names.
Caution

Copying Image Files By Using RCP

You can download a switch image from an RCP server or upload the image from the switch to an RCP
server.
You download a switch image file from a server to upgrade the switch software. You can overwrite the
current image with the new one or keep the current image after a download.
You upload a switch image file to a server for backup purposes. You can use this uploaded image for
future downloads to the same switch or another of the same type.
Note Instead of using the copy privileged EXEC command or the archive tar privileged EXEC command, we
recommend using the archive download-sw and archive upload-sw privileged EXEC commands to
download and upload software image files. For switch stacks, the archive download-sw and archive
upload-sw privileged EXEC commands can only be used through the stack master. Software images
downloaded to the stack master are automatically downloaded to the rest of the stack members.
To upgrade a switch with an incompatible software image, use the archive copy-sw privileged EXEC
command to copy the software image from an existing stack member to the incompatible switch. That
switch automatically reloads and joins the stack as a fully functioning member.

Purpose
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Upload the currently running switch image to the FTP server.
For //username:password, specify the username and
•
password. These must be associated with an account on
the FTP server. For more information, see the
to Download or Upload an Image File By Using FTP"
section on page
For @location, specify the IP address of the FTP server.
•
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory
•
and the name of the software image to be uploaded.
Directory and image names are case sensitive. The
image-name.tar is the name of the software image to be
stored on the server.
