The last row of the table displays information about the file transfer progress. The screen 
refreshes automatically until the file transfer completes or fails.

Use the HTTP File Upload screen to upload files of various types from the switch to the 
management system through an HTTP session by using your web browser.

 HTTP File Upload.

From the File Type list, specify what type of file you want to upload from the switch:

Archive. The archive is the system software image, which is saved in one of two flash 
sectors called images (image1 and image2). The active image stores the active copy; 
while the other image stores a second copy. The device boots and runs from the 
active image. If the active image is corrupted, the system automatically boots from the 
non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the boot upgrade 
process.

Text Configuration. A text-based configuration file enables you to edit a configured 
text file (startup-config) offline as needed without having to translate the contents for 
the switch to understand. The most common usage of text-based configuration is to 
upload a working configuration from a device, edit it offline to personalize it for 
another similar device (for example, change the device name or IP address), and 
download it to that device.

Tech Support. The tech support file is a text-base file that contains a variety of 
hardware, software, and configuration information that can assist in device and 
network troubleshooting.

If you are uploading a switch image (Archive), select the image on the switch to upload to 
the management system. 

This field is visible only when Archive is the selected file type.

Click the Apply button. 

A window displays to allow you to open the text file on the management system or to save 
the image or text file to the management system.
