Important Points to Remember
• You may not copy a file from one remote system to another.
• You may not copy a file from one location to the same location.
• When copying to a server, you can only use a host name if a domain name server (DNS) server is
configured.
• The host IP address (hostip) supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the source-file-url and destination-
file-url variables.
• When copying files to and from the system using FTP, HTTP, TFTP, or Telnet, you can specify a default
IP source interface for the file transfer protocol (ip {ftp | http |tlenet | tftp} source-
interface
commands). The IP source interface can be a loopback, port-channel, or physical
interface.
• HTTP copy operations support egress interface selection (EIS) to isolate management-plane and
control-plane domains for HTTP traffic. For more information, see Egress Interface Selection (EIS).
