Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload a configuration file to a
TFTP server:
DUT#copy flash:/startup-config.conf
tftp://10.10.10.163/startup-config.conf
Upload the startup configuration file to remote TFTP
server
46.3 Copying configuration files by using FTP
You can download a switch configuration file from an FTP server or upload the file from
the switch to an FTP server.
You download a switch configuration file from a server to upgrade the switch
configuration. You can overwrite the current startup configuration file with the new one.
You upload a switch configuration file to a server for backup purposes. You can use this
uploaded configuration for future downloads to the switch or another switch of the same
type.
46.3.1 Preparing to download or upload a configuration file by using FTP
You can copy configurations files to or from an FTP server.
The FTP protocol requires a client to send a remote username and password on each
FTP request to a server.
Before you begin downloading or uploading a configuration file by using FTP, do these
tasks:
• Ensure that the switch has a route to the FTP server. The switch and the FTP
server must be in the same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic
between subnets. Check connectivity to the FTP server by using the ping
command.
• If you are accessing the switch through the console or a Telnet session and you
do not have a valid username, make sure that the current FTP username is the
one that you want to use for the FTP download.
• When you upload a configuration file to the FTP server, it must be properly
configured to accept the write request from the user on the switch.
For more information, see the documentation for your FTP server.
