Is there a way to transfer a config file from pc to a router without using Rj45 cable? (console,usb....)

[niramar]

Hi everyone,

I need to find a way to transfer a config file from my pc to a router but without using Rj45 cable, only console, usb or any other way if there is. And also run it afterwards.

Currently using ftp to do that.

HI, Thank you again for a fast reply.
Yes, the PC is connected directly to the device using both console and Rj45 cable.
At first, The Pc is using a terminal to configure the basic so that the file could transfer over tftp.
So, is there a way to transfer the file without the tftp? If so, what is the method and its command lines?

You can transfer the whole configuration via USB as long as it is a text file. I do this often.

1. Make sure the USB is formatted as FAT32.

2. Copy the text file.

3. Plug the USB into the router.

4. Enable the router.

5. Run command "copy usb0:(file name) running-config". This is assuming you plugged the drive into the USB0 port.

6. Run "copy running-config startup-config"

7. Done
