Managing Files
The
-v
is for verbose, and if
-pw
is not specified, you will be prompted for a password.
Downloading a File to the Startup or Running Configuration
You can download a text file to the running or startup configuration from a TFTP, FTP, SMB, or HTTP(S)
server, or from the flash memory.
To configure the ASA to use a specific configuration as the startup configuration, see the
the File to Boot as the Startup Configuration” section on page 1-13
.
Guidelines
When you copy a configuration to the running configuration, you merge the two configurations. A merge
adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the configurations
are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the running of the context,
then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors, or you might have
unexpected results.
Detailed Steps
To copy a file to the startup configuration or running configuration, enter one of the following commands
for the appropriate download server:
•
To copy from a TFTP server, enter the following command:
hostname#

}

To copy from an SMB server, enter the following command:
hostname#

To copy the configuration from an FTP server, enter the following command:
