B configUpload Examples "path" Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names upload the file to the login account's home directory on UNIX hosts and into the directory on which the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the file is uploaded to an external host. Quotation marks are optional. "passwd" Specifies the account password when you use the FTP protocol. Quotation marks are optional. -local Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on the local chassis. This option requires a file name. -USB | -U Uploads a specified configuration file to a predetermined directory on an attached USB device. This option requires a file name. "file" Specifies the file name. Quotation marks are optional. This parameter is valid only with the -local or -USB options, each of which stores files in a predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted. -force Overwrites an existing file without confirmation. This parameter is valid only with the -local or -USB options. When invoked without operands or without "host" or "file" parameters, configUpload runs in interactive mode. When invoked without any of the parameters -all, -fid, or -chassis, only the switch configuration for the current logical switch is uploaded.
