Creating an FTP Record Chapter 1 Managing the CSS Software The archive directory contains the files that you archive from the current software by using the archive command. These files include the running-config file, startup-config file, log files, profile scripts, and scripts you create. You can view a list of archived files by using the show archive ? command. To restore any archived files to the CSS, use the restore command. For more information on the archive and restore commands, see the "Archiving Files to the Archive Directory" and "Restoring Files from the Archive Directory" sections. Creating an FTP Record The CSS requires a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) record file to access an FTP server from the CSS. A few examples of uses for an FTP record with the CSS include: • Copy an ADI, script file, or startup configuration file from an FTP server to the CSS • Copy a running-configuration file, startup-configuration file, log file, script, or a core dump file from the CSS to an FTP or TFTP server • Define a keepalive method in which the CSS logs in to an FTP server • Import or export certificates and private keys from or to a Cisco 11500 series CSS • Associate an FTP access mechanism with a service for demand-based replication activities • Write a portion or all of the Proximity Database to a file in the log directory on the CSS disk or a file on an FTP server Use the ftp-record command to create the FTP record file. The syntax for this global configuration mode command is: ftp-record ftp_record ip_address_or_hostname username ["password"|des-password des_password] {base_directory} Note The CSS FTP server supports only the active (normal) FTP mode of operation. It does not support the passive FTP mode of operation. Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 1-4 OL-5647-02
