Appendix B
Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images
Uploading an Image File By Using FTP
You can upload an image from the switch to an FTP server. You can later download this image to the
same switch or to another switch of the same type.
Use the upload feature only if the web management pages associated with the embedded device manager
have been installed with the existing image.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to upload an image to an FTP server:
Command
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
configure terminal
Step 4
ip ftp username username
Step 5
ip ftp password password
Step 6
end
Step 7
archive upload-sw
ftp:[[//[username[:password]@]location]/directory]/
image-name.tar
The archive upload-sw command builds an image file on the server by uploading these files in order:
info, the Cisco IOS image, and the web management files. After these files are uploaded, the upload
algorithm creates the tar file format.
For the download and upload algorithms to operate properly, do not rename image names.

to the
"Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration
File By Using FTP" section on page

username or password (see Steps 4, 5, and 6).
(Optional) Change the default remote username.
(Optional) Change the default password.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Upload the currently running switch image to the FTP server.
For //username:password, specify the username and
•
password. These must be associated with an account on
the FTP server. For more information, see the
to Download or Upload an Image File By Using FTP"
section on page
•
For @location, specify the IP address of the FTP server.
•
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory
(optional) and the name of the software image to be
uploaded. Directory and image names are case sensitive.
The image-name.tar is the name of the software image
to be stored on the server.
