Chapter 1 Configuring the Switch
Using Switch File Systems
Deleting an Existing Directory
The
rmdir
command deletes an existing directory at the current directory level or at a specified directory
level. The directory must be empty to be deleted.
The syntax for this command is
rmdir
directory name
.
This example deletes the directory called test in the bootflash directory:
switch#
rmdir bootflash:test
This is a directory.
Do you want to continue (y/n)?
[y]
y
The
delete
command can also delete empty and non empty directories. When you enter this command,
a warning is displayed to confirm your intention to delete the directory.
This example deletes the directory called test at the current directory level:
switch#
delete test
This is a directory.
Do you want to continue (y/n)?
[y]
y
If the current directory is bootflash:mydir, this command deletes the bootflash:mydir/test directory.
Moving Files
The
move
command
removes a file from the source directory and places it in the destination directory
Caution
If a file with the same name already exists in the destination directory, that file is overwritten by the
moved file.
This example moves the file called samplefile from the root directory to the mystorage directory:
switch#
move bootflash:samplefile bootflash:mystorage/samplefile
This example moves a file from the current directory level:
switch#
move samplefile mystorage/samplefile
If the current directory is bootflash:mydir, this command moves bootflash:mydir/samplefile to
bootflash:mydir/mystorage/samplefile.
Copying Files
The
copy
command copies a file between file systems within a switch.
Note
Use the
dir
command to ensure that enough space is available in the target file system. If enough space
is not available, use the
delete
command to remove unneeded files.
This example copies the file called samplefile from the root directory to the mystorage directory:
switch#
copy bootflash:samplefile bootflash:mystorage/samplefile
This example copies a file from the current directory level:
switch#
copy samplefile mystorage/samplefile
