Copying within a filesystem
Within a directory
To copy a file within the same directory, enter Privileged Exec mode and enter the
command:
If the file already exists, the switch asks whether to overwrite it, with a message like this:
To overwrite, press the “y” key then the Enter key.
Between
directories
To copy a file to another directory within the same filesystem, enter the command:
The / after the directory name is required. Otherwise the switch displays an error
(“37: Destination file is a directory”).
The switch then prompts you for the destination filename. To give the copy a new name,
type the name at the prompt. You can include directory names in the path.
To use the same filename as the original, press the Enter key (do not press the “y” key—
that names the copy “y”).
Example
To put a copy of example.cfg into the example directory, enter the command:
The prompt and messages look like this:
awplus#
copy SOURCE-URL DESTINATION-URL
awplus#
copy <source-filename> <destination-filename>
Overwrite flash:/example.cfg? (y/n)[n]:
awplus#
copy <source-filename> <directory-name>
awplus#
copy example.cfg example/
Enter destination file name [example.cfg]:
