• To copy to a TFTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy {startup-config | running-config} tftp://server[/path]/filename
• To copy to a FTP server, enter the following command:
hostname# copy {startup-config | running-config}
ftp://[user[:password]@]server[/path]/filename
• To copy to local flash memory, enter the following command:

disk1:/}[path/]filename
Note Be sure that the destination directory exists. If it does not exist, first create the directory using
the mkdir command.
