# 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 Not in 7.0.0 Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or 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.
  `
