User Guidelines
When copying files from the switch, match a source parameter with a
destination URL. When copying to the switch, match a source URL to a
destination parameter. FTP is only supported for image download to the
switch. URLs may not exceed 160 characters in length, including filename,
file path, hostname, ip address, user, and reserved keywords. Script download
performs syntax checking of downloaded scripts. If a syntax error is detected,
the user is prompted to save the file. If no error is detected, the file is saved in
the target file name.
When copying scripts to the switch, use the script <filename> target syntax.
Internally, all scripts, including the startup-config and backup-config, are
stored with a header. The header is added when the script is downloaded to
the switch and removed when the script is uploaded from the switch. Using
the flash://<filename> syntax as the target or source bypasses adding of the
script header, ensuring that when a script is applied on the switch which was
previously copied to the switch using the flash://<filename> syntax, a syntax
error will result.
Downloaded scripts are executed from privileged exec mode and should
contain a configure command as the first line of the script in order to enter
global configuration mode.
