Managing a NonVolatile File System
114088 Rev. A 4-15
If the destination system has a memory card to which you are transferring a file,
we recommend that you compact it first to optimize the space available for the
file. Refer to “Compacting F
ile Space,” later in this chapter, for instructions.
We recommend that you first copy the file at the source to a new, temporary
filename if the name is the same as an existing filename at the destination.
Enter the following commands to initiate a file transfer from the Technician
Interface:
tftp get
<host_address> <remote_vol>
:
<remote_file>
[
<local_vol>
]:[
<local_file>
]
tftp put
<host_address>
<remote_vol>
:
<remote_file>
[
<local_vol>
]:[
<local_file>
]
get means you are transferring the file to the local Bay Networks router and put
means you are transferring the file to the remote node.
<host_address>
is the address of the host for transfers.
<remote_vol>
is the volume number containing the volume to which you want to
transfer the file.
<remote_file>
is the name to which you want to transfer the file. If you do not
enter a destination name, the system defaults to the <local file>
you specified for
the source file.
<local_vol>
is the volume number containing the volume in the local Bay
Networks router.
<local_file>
is the name of the file used on the local router.
Caution: The destination system in a file transfer automatically overwrites
any file already on its volume that has the same filename. If enough space does
not exist on the file system for the new file, and the new file has the same name
as an old file, the old file will be destroyed and the new file will be corrupted.
This is because TFTP copies the new file over the old and runs out of space
before completing the copy. Be sure to follow the instructions in this section to
avoid corrupting the config file.
