[NET:/network] # show interfaces | save /server/interfacelist.txt

The file will be saved to the /server directory.

Note Scripts cannot be saved to the / directory of the server file system, or to the network file system.

Downloading a File from a Website or FTP Site

Cisco E-DI enables users to directly download IOS images, IDS signatures or any other files from a website or FTP site directly onto the Cisco E-DI server.

Download a file from a website or FTP site:

---

Step 1 Login to the Cisco E-DI server with administrative privileges.

Step 2 If the website or FTP site requires user authentication, set up the login and password:

a. To set up FTP authentication, enter the following commands:

[SVR:/server]# terminal ftp-auth username {username} 

Password: {password}

b. To configure the HTTP authentication, enter the following commands:

[SVR:/server]# terminal http-auth username {username}

Password: {password}

---

Note To clear the FTP or HTTP credentials, enter the command [SVR:/server]# terminal no ftp-auth or [SVR:/server]# terminal no http-auth.

---

Step 3 Open a new Cisco E-DI session, and log in as the ftp-auth or http_auth user.

Step 4 Enter the following command to download the file from a specified URL and save into a specified destination file:

[SVR:/server]# download URL destination -file

---

Note The URL must start either with http:// or ftp: //
The destination file must be under the /server directory.
