Hi
What do you mean by format Flash remotely on asa?
It's now Asa is loading from Tftp server. i can connect to asa via putty(remotely).
after connecting to ASA can i format Flash?
Can you describe what you want to achieve please?

I was done backup firewall ASA via ASDM
Connect to the firewall via ASDM, then Tools > Backup Configuration > Browse to a Location to Save the File > If you have certificates to backup, then choose and confirm a password > OK.

Hi,
CiscoASA# erase flash:
or
CiscoASA# format flash:
This command overwrites all files and erases the file system, which includes hidden system files, and then re installs the file system. On Cisco ASA 5500 series security appliances, the erase command destroys all user data on the disk with the 0xFF pattern. In contrast, the format command only resets the file system control structures. When the erase option is used, it deletes all the information related to the licensing. You need to fetch the activation keys in order to retain the licenses on Cisco ASA.

Hi Mirzo,
This is connection timed out error, do a packet capture and see what happens when you do copy.
