In the following example, the startup configuration is copied to a file on a remote server by means of FTP.
device# copy startup-config ftp://admin@10.34.98.133//archive/startup-config_device24-08_20101010
Warning
It is recommended that you use the interactive way of providing password when you copy a configuration file to an external host using FTP/SCP. Providing the password in the URL will add the complete string including the password to the command history in plain text. The password will be exposed when the show history command is executed.
