How do I download or upload a config file using only the CLI?

[Anonymous]

I love the command line programing and it makes it easier to see the config at a glance but I cannot seem to figure out how to upload or download a config file from the CLI. Am I restricted to doing this from the GUI or am I missing the obvious like cutting and pasting from the command prompt. Any suggestions would be great. I would also like to be able to do firmware upgrades from CLI as well. Thanks.

You can download and setup a tftp server on your computer then you can type the following to get a copy of the startup config:

copy startup-config tftp

it will as for the remote host. type in your ip: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

next it asks for file name. Type in the filename: config.txt

To upload firmware:

copy tftp flash (enter cflash to upload to cflash)

enter ip as in above example for remote host

enter firmware filename

press enter to just use the default filename

An AOS reference guide will be handy for you:
