Where to put new image files

[Patrick McHenry]

Hi,

after looking at the show flash I see that images that came from the factory are stored in drwx. The images I have installed are always preceded by -rwx.

From what I understand the drwx is a directory. Is there any benefit from storing them this way and should I make it best practice to do so? Thanks, Pat.

Hi Pat,

I know with catalyst switches the .bin image is bundled with html files as a .tar file, this enables the use of http server to directly connect to device and make configuration changes.

This is most likely what you are seeing, otherwise it is pretty standard to have the .bin image stored in the top level of flash.
