Copy/Download the Image Through the GUI
Images must be installed using the CLI; however, images can be copied from a remote or local location
through the GUI.

This section describes using the Element Manager to copy an image file from a remote location before
installing it as the active image.
1. In the Element Manager, select
Maintenance-> File Management…
.
Note the uninstalled image files(.img) and installed system-images. Do not modify or delete the
installed system-image. If there are two saved image files, you can create space by clicking Delete.

button.
The Import File window appears.
3. Select Image from the

8. Enter the path and name of the image file on the FTP server in the

Image file names must include the “
.img
” extension. The “
.cfg
” extension is optional when
specifying configuration file names.
9. Enter the name of the host to which you want to copy the file in the
Copy To
field.
10. Click the

button to copy the file or the

button to close the window.
Wait until the transfer is complete.
The window will automatically refresh to show the latest copied image file. However, the .img file
will not change until you have installed the new image. Installation must be performed through the
CLI.
