Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can use this command to display the contents of the remote directory. To save the result in the local file, you need to specify the file name.

Precautions

The Cfcard has internal partitions. The remaining space information shown in the dir cfcard: command output greatly differs from that shown in the dir cfcard:/logfile/ command output. Before you install the target system software, run the dir cfcard: command to verify whether the remaining space is sufficient.
