Using Switch File Systems
If the current directory is slot0:mydir, this command copies slot0:mydir/samplefile to
slot0:mydir/mystorage/samplefile.
This example shows how to copy a file from the active supervisor module’s (sup-1 in slot 5 on the Cisco
MDS 9506 and Cisco MDS 9509 switches or slot 7 on the Cisco MDS 9513 switch) bootflash to the
standby supervisor module’s (sup-2 in slot 6 on the Cisco MDS 9506 and Cisco MDS 9509 switches or
slot 7 on the Cisco MDS 9513 switch) bootflash.
switch#
copy bootflash:system_image bootflash://sup-2/system_image
This example shows how to overwrite the contents of an existing configuration in NVRAM.
switch#

system to or from a FTP, TFTP, SFTP, or SCP server (see the
“Copying Configuration Files” section on
page 8-5
).

The
delete

“Deleting Configuration Files” section on page 8-8
).
This example shows how to delete a file from the current working directory.

This example shows how to delete a file from an external CompactFlash (slot0).
switch#
delete slot0:dns_config.cfg
This example deletes the entire
my-dir
directory and all its contents.
switch#
delete bootflash:my-dir
Caution
If you specify a directory, the
delete
command deletes the entire directory and all its contents.

The syntax for this command is
show file
