3. Prepare the sftp command line for the file transfer and execute the put
command.
In this example the new software image file, dx800v140rcQ.elf, is stored in the directory
C:\temp. It must be copied to /swupgrade virtual directory on the Multinet4. The steps
illustrated in Figure 5-6 are:
• Logging in
• Changing the remote directory to /swupgrade
• Changing the local directory to C:\temp
• Executing the put command
Documents and Settings\user1\psftp 2.3.4.100
login as: manager
manager@2.3.4.100's password:
Remote working directory is /
psftp> cd swupgrade
Remote directory is now /swupgrade
psftp> C:\temp
New local directory is C:\temp
psftp> put dx800v140rcQ.elf
Local:dx800v140rcQ.elf => remote:/swupgrade/
dx800v140rcQ.elf
psftp>
FIGURE 5–6: SFTP Client: Executing the put Command
The transfer of the software image file to the /swupgrade directory may take a long time.
Your experience will vary with the sftp client used, but the image file is large and some sftp
clients will make the transfer in many packets. Be prepared to wait ten or more minutes for
the transfer to complete.
4. View the changed software upgrade state.
In the Multinet4 CLI run the sw show command to view the software upgrade state now
that the software image file has been placed in the /swupgrade directory. Figure 5-7
illustrates the system at this stage of the upgrade process.
