If there is no firewall between the router and the network host to which you copied the release files, you can transfer the software release files from the network host to the router via the FTP server or by issuing the copy command. To transfer files via the FTP server, refer to the previous section, Installing Software When a Firewall Exists. This section describes how to transfer files by issuing the copy command.
If you use the copy command to transfer the files, the network host must be an FTP server. This command activates an FTP client on the router.
For this network configuration, you can install the software in the normal command line interface (CLI) operational mode or in boot mode.
