OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide

To demonstrate how to transfer a file using the Secure Shell FTP, this application example continues from 
the previous example, where a new directory named “newssdir” was created on a remote OmniSwitch. 

1 Use the Secure Shell FTP put command to transfer the file “testfile1.rr” from the local OmniSwitch to 
the “newssdir” directory on the remote OmniSwitch. You must specify the local path (where the file 
originates) and the remote path (where the file is going) in the command syntax. The following command 
is used: 

sftp> put /flash/testfile1.rr /flash/newssdir

The following will display to indicate that the file was successfully transferred to the /flash/newssdir on 
the target OmniSwitch.

Uploading /flash/testfile1.rr to /flash/newssdir/testfile1.rr

2 To verify that the file was transferred to the correct destination, use the Secure Shell FTP cd command 
to move your login to the newssdir directory. Then, use the ls command to list the contents of the 
directory. The copied file is listed in the correct directory as shown here. 

sftp> cd newssdir

sftp> ls

    2048 .

    2048 ..

      31 testfile1.rr

To terminate the Secure Shell FTP session, issue the 

 command. The following will display:

-> exit

Connection to 11.333.30.135 closed.

This display indicates the Secure Shell FTP session with IP address 11.333.20.135 is closed. The user is 
now logged into the OmniSwitch as a local device with no active remote connection.

To display list of files, the following CLI commands may be used.

For more information about these commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
