Use the copy command to upload or download an image file, configuration file, or other file types to or from a flash device or an FTP/TFTP server.
The copy command supports wildcards.
Use the recursive keyword to recursively copy files and directories. If files or directories already exist, the operator is prompted to overwrite them. When the force keyword is specified, a positive response to the overwrite prompts is assumed. The operator is not prompted for confirmation and the existing files or directories are overwritten.
The scp command copies files between hosts on a network. It uses SSH for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as SSH.
The source file for the scp command must be local. The file must reside on the router. The destination file has to be of the format: user@host:file-name. The destination does not need to be local.
# file>
# copy <source-file-url> <dest-file-url> [force][no-redirect][client-tls-profile <tls-profile-name>][proxy <proxy-url>] [recursive]
# scp <local-file-url> <destination-file-url> [router <router-instance>][force]
# scp <local-file-url> <destination-file-url> [force] service <service-name>
The following displays examples of the command syntax:
A:node-2>file cf3:\ # copy 104.cfg cf1:\test1\test2\test3\test.cfg
A:node-2>file cf3:\ # scp file1 admin@192.168.0.1:cf1:\file1
A:node-2>file cf3:\ # scp file2 user2@192.168.0.1:/user2/file2
A:node-2>file cf3:\ # scp cf2:/file3 admin@192.168.0.1:cf1:\file3
The following example displays a recursive directory copy:
