File management tasks in the classic CLI

The following sections are basic system tasks that can be performed in the classic CLI.

For more information about the supported classic CLI commands, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Classic CLI Command Reference Guide.

When a file system operation is performed that can potentially remove or overwrite a file system entry, a prompt appears to confirm the action. The force keyword performs the operation without displaying the confirmation prompt.

All the commands can operate on the local file system. The following table indicates the commands that also support remote file operations.
