Signamax switches construct a DOS-based file system for storing the information that rarely
needs to be changed, such as the application programs (protocol software and driver etc.) and
BootROM programs of a switch. The file system is called TFFS

In the file system configuration mode, the system provides a set of commands to manage the
file system. They are as follows:
Table 2-2 Commands for managing the file system
Command
copy
ftpcopy
tftpcopy
xmodemcopy
delete
type
dir
cd
mkdir
rmdir
pwd
volume
config-file
input-to-flash
show filesystem
The file system management of a switch is composed of two parts, they are: file management
and directory management. Because TFFS is based on DOS file system, long file names are
not supported. Each directory name can be a maximum of eight characters in length, each file
name follows the 8.3 naming standard.
