Specifying Filenames and URLs

In some CLI commands and configuration statements—including file copy, file archive, load, and save—you can include a filename.

You can specify a filename or URL in one of the following ways:

• filename—File in the user's current directory on the local system. You can use wildcards to specify multiple source files or a single destination file. Wildcards are not supported in FTP.
  

  NOTE: Wildcards are supported only by the file compare, file copy, file delete, file list, file rename, file show, and save commands. When you issue the file show command with a wildcard, it must resolve to one filename.

  
  
• path/filename—File on the local system.
• File URL—File URL of local files.
• usb:filename—Files on a dynamically mounted USB port.
• ftp://hostname/path/filename—File on an FTP server. You can also specify hostname as username@hostname or username :password@hostname.

For example:

user@host> file copy ftp://username@ftp.hostname.net//filename 

file copy ftp.hostname.net: Not logged in.
