Siklu File System (SFS)
9.9.1
Understanding SFS
With SFS, all files can be listed and classified (binary, text file, and so on), including files
on remote servers.
SFS minimizes the required prompting for many commands, such as the
copy
CLI
command. You can enter all of the required information in the command line, rather
than waiting for the system to prompt you. For example, to copy a file to an FTP server,
you can specify the specific location on the device of the source file, the specific
location of the destination file on the FTP server, and the username and p assword to
use when connecting to the FTP server. Alternatively, you can enter the minimal form of
the command.
SFS enables you to navigate to different directories and list the files in a directory.

Specifying Files Using URLs
9.9.2.1
Specifying Files on Network Servers
To specify a file on a network server, use one of the following forms:
ftp://username:password@Location/subdirectory/filename
The
location
can be an IP address or a host name.
The file path (directory and filename) is specified relative to the dire ctory used for file
transfers. For example, on UNIX file servers, FTP paths start in the home directory
associated with the username.
The following example specifies the file named
mill-config
on the server named
enterprise.siklu.com
. The device uses the username
liberty
and the password
secret
to access this server via FTP.
Since there is currently no DNS, the location is specified as IP Address in the dotted
notation.
ftp://liberty:[email protected]/mill-config
9.9.2.2
Specifying Local Files
Use the
[prefix:[directory/]]filename
syntax to specify a file located on the
device specified by prefix. For example,
flash:backup-config
specifies the file
named
backup-config
in the
configs
directory of Flash memory. Some devices do
not support directories.
