7. If you specify the -r command line option for the sf command, your server
does not reboot after the file transfer and console redirection is disabled.
Be sure to reboot the server locally using the Alt+Delete key
sequence from the DOS prompt, or the “Reboot System” menu option
from the Diagnostic Partition or Platform CD-ROM main menu.
Using the sf Command
Use the sf (send file) command to upload files from the server to a remote
location. Note the following when using the sf command:
•
By default, the sf command uses the ZMODEM protocol for file transfer.
You can specify a command line option that lets you use the YMODEM
protocol.
•
By default, the sf command automatically reboots the server after file
transfer is complete. You can specify a command line option that prevents
automatic reboot. If you specify this option, you must reboot the server
locally before you can perform further remote operations.
•
To reboot the server, use the Alt+Delete key sequence from the
DOS prompt or select “Reboot System” from the Diagnostic Partition or
Platform CD-ROM main menu.
•
The requirement to reboot your server after executing the sf command
implies that you should upload all files with one sf command rather than
using a series of sf commands.
Note: If you do not automatically reboot your server after executing the sf
command, you may experience screen corruption. To correct this, immediately
perform a system reboot.
The syntax for the sf command is:
sf <options> <filenames>
sf Command Options
The following table lists the command line options for the sf command, defines
their possible values and gives a brief description of each option. Default
values are designated in boldface type.
