Example for Operating Files After Logging In to the System

In the example, you log in to a device to view and copy files.

Networking Requirements

You can log in to a device through a console port or using Telnet or STelnet to manage files on the device.

You must enter a correct path for storing files. If you do not specify a target file name, the source file name is the target file name by default.

Precautions

To log in to a device through a console port, you must prepare a terminal and an RS-232 cable.
To log in to a device using Telnet or STelnet, you must have configured a Telnet or STelnet server and ensure that the server and terminal are routable.

For detailed configurations, see User Login Configuration.

In this example, login through a console port is used to manage files.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure login through a console port.
View files in a directory.
Copy a file to this directory.
Check that the file is copied to the specified directory.

Data Preparation

Source and target file names
Source and target file paths
