Copy a File Using File Transfer Protocol

To use anonymous FTP to copy a local file to a remote system, enter the following command:

user@host>file copy filename ftp://hostname/filename

In the following example, /config/juniper.conf is the local file and hostname is the FTP server:

user@host> file copy /config/juniper.confftp://hostname/juniper.conf
Receiving ftp: //hostname/juniper.conf (2198 bytes): 100% 
2198 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds (2.69 MBps)

Copy a File Using File Transfer Protocol and Requiring a Password

To use FTP where you require more privacy and are prompted for a password, enter the following command:

root@host> file copy filename ftp://user@hostname/filename

In the following example, /config/juniper.conf is the local file and hostname is the FTP server:

root@host> file copy /config/juniper.conf ftp://user@hostname/juniper.conf
Password for user@hostname: ******
Receiving ftp: //user@hostname/juniper.conf (2198 bytes): 100%
2198 bytes transferred in 0.0 seconds (2.69 MBps)

Copy a File Using Secure Copy Protocol (scp)

To use scp to copy a local file to a remote system, enter the following command:

root@host> file copy filename scp://user@hostname/path/filename

In the following example, /config/juniper.conf is the local file, user is the username, and ssh-host is the scp server:

root@host> file copy /config/juniper.conf scp://user@ssh-host/tmp/juniper.conf
user@ssh-host's password: ******
juniper.conf         100% |*********************************************************************************|  2198       00:00
