To view all file systems available to copy on a specific device, use the
copy
command as in the following
example of a 5-member stack:
This example shows how to copy a config file stored in the flash partition of device 2 to the flash partition of
device 4. It assumes that device 2 and device 4 are in the same stack.
Device#
copy flash-2:config.txt flash-4:config.txt
Deleting Files
When you no longer need a file on a flash memory device, you can permanently delete it. To delete a file or
directory from a specified flash device, use the
delete
[
/force
] [
/recursive
] [
filesystem:
]
/file-url
privileged
EXEC command.
Use the
/recursive
keyword for deleting a directory and all subdirectories and the files contained in it. Use
the
/force
keyword to suppress the prompting that confirms a deletion of each file in the directory. You are
prompted only once at the beginning of this deletion process. Use the
/force
and
/recursive
keywords for
deleting old software images that were installed by using the
archive download-sw
command but are no
longer needed.
If you omit the
filesystem:
option, the device uses the default device specified by the
cd
command. For
file-url
,
you specify the path (directory) and the name of the file to be deleted.
When you attempt to delete any files, the system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
When files are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered.
Caution
This example shows how to delete the file
myconfig
from the default flash memory device:
Device#
delete myconfig
Creating, Displaying and Extracting Files
You can create a file and write files into it, list the files in a file, and extract the files from a file as described
in the next sections.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a file, display the contents, and extract it:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
archive tar /create destination-url flash: /file-url
2.
archive tar /table source-url
