Chapter 17 Managing Firmware and Configurations Working with the Flash File System Use the /recursive keyword to delete the named directory and all subdirectories and the files contained in it. Use the /force keyword to suppress the prompting that confirms a deletion of each file in the directory. You are prompted only once at the beginning of this deletion process. Use the /force and /recursive keywords for deleting old software images that were installed by using the archive download-sw command but are no longer needed. For filesystem, use flash: for the system board Flash device. For file-url, enter the name of the directory to be deleted. All the files in the directory and the directory are removed. Caution When files and directories are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered. Copying Files To copy a file from a source to a destination, use the copy [/erase] source-url destination-url privileged EXEC command. For the source and destination URLs, you can use running-config and startup-config keyword shortcuts. For example, the copy running-config startup-config command saves the currently running configuration file to the NVRAM section of Flash memory to be used as the configuration during system initialization. Network file system URLs include ftp:, rcp:, and tftp: and have the following syntax: • File Transfer Protocol (FTP)-ftp:[[//username [:password]@location]/directory]/filename • Remote Copy Protocol (RCP)-rcp:[[//username@location]/directory]/filename • Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)-tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename Local writable file systems include flash:. Some invalid combinations of source and destination exist. Specifically, you cannot copy these combinations: • From a running configuration to a running configuration • From a startup configuration to a startup configuration • From a device to the same device (for example, the copy flash: flash: command is invalid) For specific examples of using the copy command with configuration files, see the "Working with Configuration Files" section on page 17-8. To copy software images either by downloading a new version or uploading the existing one, use the archive download-sw or the archive upload-sw privileged EXEC command. For more information, see the "Working with Software Images" section on page 17-19. Deleting Files When you no longer need a file on a Flash memory device, you can permanently delete it. To delete a file or directory from a specified Flash device, use the delete [/force] [/recursive] [filesystem:]/file-url privileged EXEC command. Caution When files are deleted, their contents cannot be recovered. OL-4059-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide 17-5
