These commands create two levels of subdirectories on the flash card in PCMCIA slot 1, then copy a flash image
file named "B2R07100.bin" from a TFTP server into the new 07100 subdirectory. Since the file name for the copy
destination is not specified, the software uses the same name for the copy (B2R07100.bin).
File and Subdirectory Naming Conventions
Files and subdirectory names can be up to 32 characters long. The following characters are valid in file and
subdirectory names:
• All upper and lowercase letters
• All digits
• Spaces
• Any of the following special characters:
• $
• %
• '
• -
• _
• @
• ~
• `
• !
• (
• )
• {
• }
• ^
• #
• &
You can use spaces in a file or subdirectory name if you enclose the name in double quotes. For example, to
specify a subdirectory name that contains spaces, enter a string such as the following: "a long subdirectory
name".
A subdirectory or file name can be a maximum of 256 characters long. A complete subdirectory path name
cannot contain more than 260 characters.
There is no maximum file length. A file can be as large as the available flash card space.
Wildcards
Commands to display a directory of files, to change the read-write attribute of a file, or to delete files accept
wildcards in the file name (<file-name>). When using these commands, you can use "*" (asterisk) as a wildcard
for any part of the name. For example, all the following values are valid for <file-name>:
• startup.cfg
• start*.cfg
• B2P07000.bin
• *.bin
