Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
Working with the Flash File System
For flash:/ file-url , specify the location on the local flash file system from which the new tar file is created. You can also
specify an optional list of files or directories within the source directory to write to the new tar file. If none are specified,
all files and directories at this level are written to the newly created tar file.
This example shows how to create a tar file. This command writes the contents of the new-configs directory on the local
flash device to a file named saved.tar on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30:
Switch# archive tar /create tftp:172.20.10.30/saved.tar flash:/new-configs
Displaying the Contents of a tar File
To display the contents of a tar file on the screen, use this privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /table source-url
For source-url , specify the source URL alias for the local or network file system. These options are supported:

For the local flash file system, the syntax is
flash:

For the FTP, the syntax is
ftp: [[ // username [ : password ] @ location ] / directory ] / tar-filename .tar

For the RCP, the syntax is
rcp: [[ // username @ location ] / directory ] / tar-filename .tar

For the TFTP, the syntax is
tftp: [[ // location ] / directory ] / tar-filename .tar
The tar-filename .tar is the tar file to display.
You can also limit the display of the files by specifying an optional list of files or directories after the tar file; then only
those files appear. If none are specified, all files and directories appear.
This example shows how to display the contents of a switch tar file that is in flash memory:
Switch# archive tar /table flash: image-name .tar
image-name / (directory)
image-name /html/ (directory)
image-name /html/file.html (0 bytes)
image-name / image-name .bin (610856 bytes)
image-name /info (219 bytes)
This example shows how to display only the /html directory and its contents:
Switch# archive tar /table flash: image-name/ html
c image-name /html
c image-name /html/ (directory)
c image-name /html/const.htm (556 bytes)
c image-name /html/xhome.htm (9373 bytes)
c image-name /html/menu.css (1654 bytes)

Extracting a tar File
To extract a tar file into a directory on the flash file system, use this privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /xtract source-url flash:/ file-url [ dir/file ...]
For source-url , specify the source URL alias for the local file system. These options are supported:
