copy
Use this command to move (upload/download) a code image or configuration file
between the switch’s Flash memory and a TFTP server. When you save the sys-
tem code or configuration settings to a file on a TFTP server, that file can later be
downloaded to the switch to restore system operation. The success of the file
transfer depends on the accessibility of the TFTP server and the quality of the
network connection.
