Encounter FTP error on Nexus 5548

[wmchan1979]

Hi all,

I encountered problem while trying to copy file from Nexus 5548 to my ftp server (proteus - 192.168.12.220 - the Nexus switch is able to resolve name proteus correctly to 192.168.12.220). See below the working and not working scenarios. I have serached through Cisco Bug Database but unable to find any related bug associated to this problem. This Nexus is running the following NX-OS version.

n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.1.3.N1.1a.bin

n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N1.1a.bin

Could anyone help? Thanks.

Working (without specifying the username and full path)

Enter source filename: MDS20120902172106548.lic

Greetings,

Unfortunately I do not believe specifying the username in an FTP URL is currently supported on NX-OS. Refer to Table 2 in the command reference for the 'copy' command:

ftp:	Source or destination URL for a FTP network server. The syntax for this alias is as follows: ftp:[//server][/path]/filename
