Working with the Flash File System
This example shows how to create a tar file. This command writes the contents of the new-configs
directory on the local flash device to a file named saved.tar on the TFTP server at 172.20.10.30:
Switch# archive tar /create tftp:172.20.10.30/saved.tar flash:/new-configs
Displaying the Contents of a tar File
To display the contents of a tar file on the screen, use this privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /table source-url
For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local or network file system. These options are
supported:
• For the local flash file system, the syntax is
flash:
• For the FTP, the syntax is ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
• For the RCP, the syntax is rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
• For the TFTP, the syntax is tftp:[[//location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
The tar-filename.tar is the tar file to display.
You can also limit the display of the files by specifying an optional list of files or directories after the
tar file; then only these files are displayed. If none are specified, all files and directories are displayed.
This example shows how to display the contents of the cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121- 21.EA1.tar file that is in
flash memory:
Switch#archive tar /table flash:cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1.tar
info (219 bytes)
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/(directory)
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/html/(directory)
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1.bin (610856 bytes)
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/info (219 bytes)
info.ver (219 bytes)
This example shows how to display only the cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/html directory and its
contents:
Switch#archive tar /table flash:cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/html
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/html/(directory)
cigesm-i6q4l2-mz.121-21.EA1/html/foo.html (0 bytes)
Extracting a tar File
To extract a tar file into a directory on the flash file system, use the privileged EXEC command:
archive tar /xtract source-url flash:/file-url [dir/file...]
For source-url, specify the source URL alias for the local file system. These options are supported:
• For the local flash file system, the syntax is
flash:
• For the FTP, the syntax is ftp:[[//username[:password]@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
• For the RCP, the syntax is rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
• For the TFTP, the syntax is tftp:[[//location]/directory]/tar-filename.tar
The tar-filename.tar is the tar file from which to extract files.
