AT-S63 Management Software Command Line User’s Guide
Section II: Advanced Operations 203
Note
In earlier versions of the AT-S63 Management Software this
command also performed switch to switch file transfers for copying
files from a master switch to other switches in an enhanced stack.
That function is now part of “UPLOAD
METHOD=REMOTESWITCH” on page 213
The DESTFILE parameter specifies a name for the file when it is stored in
the file system or a flash memory card in the switch. Enclose the name in
double quotes if it contains a space. When specifying the new name of a
downloaded file, be sure to give it the correct three-letter extension that
corresponds to its file type. The extensions are shown in Table 3.
To store a file in a flash memory card, the destination filename must be
preceded with “cflash:”.
The APPBLOCK option of the DESTFILE parameter refers to the switch’s
application block, which is the portion of flash memory reserved for the
active AT-S63 image. The application block is separate from the file
system. The APPBLOCK option downloads a new version of the AT-S63
image file into the application block, making it the active image file on the
switch.
Note
The APPBLOCK option can only be used to download a new
AT-S63 image file.
The equivalent FILE and SCRFILE parameters specify the name of the file
on the TFTP server to download onto the switch.
Before downloading a file onto a switch using TFTP, note the following:
ˆ A TFTP download is supported from a local, Telnet or SSH
management session.
