The archive directory contains the files that you archive from the current software
by using the
archive
command. These files include the running-config file,
startup-config file, log files, profile scripts, and scripts you create. You can view
a list of archived files by using the
show archive ?
command.
To restore any archived files to the CSS, use the
restore
command. For more
information on the
archive
and
restore
commands, see the
“Archiving Files to the
Archive Directory”
and
“Restoring Files from the Archive Directory”
sections.
Creating an FTP Record
The CSS requires a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) record file to access an FTP server
from the CSS. A few examples of uses for an FTP record with the CSS include:
•
Copy an ADI, script file, or startup configuration file from an FTP server to
the CSS
•
Copy a running-configuration file, startup-configuration file, log file, script,
or a core dump file from the CSS to an FTP or TFTP server
•
Define a keepalive method in which the CSS logs in to an FTP server
•
Import or export certificates and private keys from or to a Cisco 11500 series
CSS
•
Associate an FTP access mechanism with a service for demand-based
replication activities
•
Write a portion or all of the Proximity Database to a file in the log directory
on the CSS disk or a file on an FTP server
Use the
ftp-record
command to create the FTP record file. The syntax for this
global configuration mode command is:
ftp-record
ftp_record ip_address_or_hostname username
[“
password”
|
des-password
des_password
] {
base_directory
}
Note
The CSS FTP server supports only the active (normal) FTP mode of operation. It
does not support the passive FTP mode of operation.
