Summary of File System Commands
The following lists the available file system commands in privileged EXEC mode.
Upgrading System Images
| Command | Purpose |
| controller> cd [filesystem] | Sets the default directory on the Flash memory device. If no directory name is specified, this sets the default directory to images. Permitted directories are:
images: The directory containing upgrade images ATS/scripts: The directory containing AP boot scripts backup: The directory containing database backup images. |
| controller> pwd | Displays the current working directory. |
| controller> dir [filesystem:][filename] | Displays a list of files on a file system. This can be one of the permitted directories given in the cd command or a remote directory referenced by an FTP URL. |
| controller# delete filename controller# delete directory:filename controller# delete flash: image | Deletes a file from the file system or deletes an upgrade image file from flash memory. The directory parameter can be used to delete a file from a different folder. |
| controller# show flash | Display the versions of the image files contained in the controller’s flash memory. |
| controller# rename old new | Renames a file from old to new. |
| controller# show running-config | Display the contents of the running configuration file. |
| controller# more running-config | Display the contents of the running configuration file. Alias for show running-config, but in contrast to that command, this one prompts the user to press a key to scroll the screen once it is filled. This allows the configuration to be shown a screen at a time, instead of scrolling all the way through instantly. |
| controller# copy running-config ftp|sftp|scp:[[[//username:password]@location/directory]/filename] | Copies the running configuration file to an FTP, SFTP, or SCP server, for example:
controller# copy running-config ftp://user1:userpass@server1/jan01config controller# copy running-config scp://user1:userpass@server1/ jan01-config |
| controller# copy running-config startupconfig | Saves the running-configuration to the startup configuration to make it persistent. You should always do this after a set of configuration commands if you want your changes to persist across reboots. |
