When you omit this argument, the system lists the files on the file system specified by the cd command. For example, the dir EXEC command, which displays a list of files on a file system, contain an optional filesystem argument. Usage Guidelines For all EXEC commands that have an optional filesystem argument, the system uses the file system specified by the cd command when you omit the optional filesystem argument. Command Modes EXEC Command History Release Modification 11.0 This command was introduced. If you do not specify a directory on a file system, the default is the root directory on that file system. For platforms that do not have a physical device named flash:, the keyword flash: is aliased to the default Flash device. Defaults The initial default file system is flash. cd Syntax Description filesystem: (Optional) The URL or alias of the directory or file systems followed by a colon. For details about Flash File System types (Class A, B, and C), refer to PCMCIA Filesystem Compatibility Matrix and Filesystem Information Tech Note on FR-180ģ cd cd To change the default directory or file system, use the cd EXEC command. For details about the Cisco IFS, and for IFS configuration tasks, refer to the Configuring the Cisco IOS File System chapter in the Release 12.2 Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide. ymodem: Obtain the file from a network machine using the Ymodem protocol. xmodem: Obtain the file from a network machine using the Xmodem protocol. slaveslot1: Second PCMCIA card on a slave RSP card. slaveslot0: First PCMCIA card on a slave RSP card. slavebootflash: Internal Flash memory on a slave RSP card of a router configured with Dual RSPs. This is the default location for the running-configuration file. You can copy a remote file to null to determine its size. Therefore, you can use the prefix flash: to refer to the main Flash memory storage area on all platforms flh: Flash load helper log files. For platforms that do not have a device named flash:, the prefix flash: is aliased to slot0. This prefix is available on most platforms. FR-179Ģ Table 20 File System Prefixes for Cisco IFS URLs Prefix Description bootflash: Bootflash memory. Table 19 Prefix ftp: rcp: tftp: File ID Suffixes for Cisco IFS URLs Suffix Options For example: ftp://network-config (prefix://filename) tftp:/directory]/filename Table 20 lists common URL prefixes used to indicate memory locations on the system. Table 19 lists the available suffix options (file indentification suffixes) for the URL prefixes used in Table 18.

Specifies an remote copy protocol (rcp) network server. Table 18 Prefix ftp: rcp: tftp: Network Prefixes for Cisco IFS URLs Description Specifies a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) network server. Table 18 lists common URL network prefixes used to indicate a device on the network. The prefixes listed below can also be used in the filesystem arguments in this chapter. The following tables list URL keywords that can be used in the source-url and destination-url arguments for all commands in this chapter.

URLs used in the Cisco IFS contain two parts: a file system or network prefix, and a file identification suffix. 1 This chapter describes the basic set of commands used to manipulate files on your routing device using the Cisco IOS File System (IFS) in Cisco IOS Release Commands in this chapter use URLs as part of the command syntax.
