Understanding Invalid Combinations of Source and Destination Some invalid combinations of source and destination exist. Specifically, the following cannot be copied: • If the source file and destination file are the same file. • xmodem cannot be a destination. Can only be copied to image, boot and null. • tftp cannot be the source and destination on the same copy. • startup-config and backup-config cannot be copied to running-config. Copy Character Descriptions Character ! . Description For network transfers, an exclamation point indicates that the copy process is taking place. Each "!" indicates that the file download is progressing successfully. For network transfers, a period indicates that the copy process timed out. Many periods in a row typically mean that the copy process may fail. Copying Image File from a Server to Flash Memory Use the copy source-url image command to copy an image file from a server to Flash memory. Copying Boot File from a Server to Flash Memory Use the copy source-url boot command to copy a boot file from a server to Flash memory. Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration Use the copy source-url running-config command to load a "configuration file" from a network server to the device "running configuration". The configuration is added to the "running configuration" as if the commands were typed in the command-line interface (CLI). The resulting configuration file is a combination of the previous "running configuration" and the loaded "configuration file", with the loaded "configuration file" having precedence. Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Startup Configuration Use the copy source-url startup-config command to copy a "configuration file" from a network server to the device "startup configuration". These commands replace the startup configuration file with the copied configuration file. Storing the Running or Startup Configuration on a Server Use the copy running-config destination-url command to copy the current configuration file to a network server using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config destination-url command to copy the "startup configuration" file to a network server. The configuration file copy can serve as a backup copy.
