copy

This command copies a boot file or software file between an FTP/TFTP server
and the access point's flash memory. It also allows you to upload a copy of the
configuration file from the access point's flash memory to an FTP/TFTP server.
When you save the configuration settings to a file on an FTP/TFTP server, that
file can later be downloaded to the access point to restore system operation.
The success of the file transfer depends on the accessibility of the FTP/TFTP
server and the quality of the network connection.

Command Usage
• The system prompts for data required to complete the copy
command.
• Only a configuration file can be uploaded to an FTP/TFTP server, but
every type of file can be downloaded to the access point.
• HP recommends not changing the name of a software file when
downloading a new software. This name helps to quickly identify the
software revision that the file contains.
• Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the access point supports
only two software files.
• The configuration file must always be named "syscfg" prior to down-
loading it to the access point.
