Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
filename: Name of a batch file with a .bat extension. You can use the rename command to change the suffix of the configuration file to .bat to use it as a batch file.
Description
Use the execute command to execute the specified batch file.
Batch files are command line files. Executing a batch file is to execute a set of command lines in the file.
l You should not include invisible characters in a batch file. If an invisible character is found during the execution, the batch process will abort and the commands that have been executed cannot be cancelled.
l Not every command in a batch file is sure to be executed. For example, if a certain command is not correctly configured, the system omits this command and goes to the next one.
l The configuration generated after a batch file is executed will not be backed up to the standby main board automatically.
l Each configuration command in a batch file must be a standard configuration command, meaning that the valid configuration information can be displayed with the display current-configuration command after this command is configured successfully; otherwise, this command may not be executed correctly.
Examples
# Execute the batch file test.bat in the root directory.

User view
Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
/force: Deletes all files in the recycle bin, including files that cannot be deleted by the command without the /force keyword.
Description
Use the reset recycle-bin command to permanently delete the files in the recycle bin in the current directory.
If a file is corrupted, you may not be able to delete the file using the reset recycle-bin command. In this case, you can use the reset recycle-bin /force command, which can delete all the files in the recycle bin forcibly.
Note that:
l Unlike this command, the delete file-url command only moves a file to the recycle bin, and the file still occupies the memory space. To delete the file in the recycle bin, you need to execute the reset recycle-bin command in the original directory of the file.
l The reset recycle-bin command deletes files in the current directory and in the recycle bin. If the original path of the file to be deleted is not the current directory, use the cd command to enter the original directory of the file, and then execute the reset recycle-bin command.
Examples
# Delete file b.cfg under the current directory and in the recycle bin.
l Display all the files in the recycle bin and under the current directory.

Associated with an ACL, the FTP server can deny the FTP requests of some FTP clients and only permit the access of clients allowed by the ACL rules. This configuration only filters the FTP connections to be established, and has no effect on the established FTP connections and operations. If you execute the command for multiple times, the last specified ACL takes effect.
Examples
# Associate the FTP service with ACL 2001 to allow only the client 1.1.1.1 to access the device through FTP.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] acl number 2001
[Sysname-acl-basic-2001] rule 0 permit source 1.1.1.1 0
[Sysname-acl-basic-2001] rule 1 deny source any
[Sysname-acl-basic-2001] quit

Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
minute: Idle-timeout timer in minutes, in the range 1 to 35791.
Description
Use the ftp timeout command to set the idle-timeout timer.
Use the undo ftp timeout command to restore the default.
By default, the FTP idle time is 30 minutes.
After you log in to an FTP server, if the connection is disrupted and the FTP server is not notified, the system will maintain the connection, which will cause the occupation of the system resources and affect the login of other FTP users. To address this problem, you can set an idle-timeout timer so that the FTP server can disconnect from the user if no information is received or/and transmitted before the timer expires.
Examples
# Set the idle-timeout timer to 36 minutes.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ftp timeout 36

FTP Client Configuration Commands
![]()
l In this section, the configuration procedure of entering FTP client view is omitted. You must use the ftp command to enter FTP client view for configurations under this view. For details, refer to ftp.
l Before executing the FTP client configuration commands in this section, make sure you have configured the proper authority for users on the FTP server, such as view the files under the current directory, read/download the specified file, create directory/upload files, rename/remove files, and so on.
l The prompt information in the examples of this section varies with FTP server types.
ascii
Syntax
ascii
View
FTP client view
Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
None
Description
Use the ascii command to set the file transfer mode to ASCII.
By default, the file transfer mode is ASCII.
The carriage return characters vary with operating systems. For example, to indicate the end of a line and transfer to the next line, the H3C device system and Windows system use characters /r/n, and the Linux system uses characters /n. Therefore, after the file transmission between two systems that use different carriage return characters, such as Linux system and H3C device system, the FTP transmission mode must be applied to ensure the correct resolution of the files.
FTP transfers files in two modes:
l Binary mode: for program file or picture transmission.
l ASCII mode: for text file transmission.
Related commands: binary.

Description
Use the ftp client source command to configure the source address of the transmitted FTP packets from the FTP client.
Use the undo ftp client source command to restore the default.
By default, a device uses the IP address of the interface determined by the matched route as the source IP address to communicate with an FTP server.
Note that:
l The source address can be specified as the source interface and the source IP address. If you use the ftp client source command to specify the source interface and then the source IP address, the newly specified source IP address overwrites the configured source interface and vice versa.
l If the source address is specified with the ftp client source command and then with the ftp command, the source address specified with the latter one is used to communicate with the FTP server.
l The source address specified with the ftp client source command is valid for all FTP connections and the source address specified with the ftp command is valid only for the current FTP connection.
Related commands: display ftp client configuration.

View
System view
Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
ipv6: References an IPv6 ACL. If it is not specified, an IPv4 ACL is referenced.
acl-number: Number of a basic ACL, in the range 2000 to 2999.
Description
Use the tftp server acl command to control the device’s access to a specific TFTP server using an ACL.
Use the undo tftp server acl command to restore the default.
By default, no ACL is used to control the device’s access to TFTP servers.
You can use the rules in an ACL to allow or permit the device’s access to a specific TFTP server in a network.
For more information about ACL, refer to ACL Configuration and ACL Commands in the Security Volume.
Examples
# In IPv4 networking environment, allow the device to access the TFTP server with the IP address of 1.1.1.1 only.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] acl number 2000
[Sysname-acl-basic-2000] rule permit source 1.1.1.1 0
[Sysname-acl-basic-2000] quit
[Sysname] tftp-server acl 2000
# In IPv6 networking environment, allow the device to access the TFTP server with the IP address of 2001::1 only.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] acl ipv6 number 2001
[Sysname-acl6-basic-2001] rule permit source 2001::1/128

tftp
Syntax
tftp server-address { get | put | sget } source-filename [ destination-filename ] [ source { interface interface-type interface-number | ip source-ip-address } ]
View
User view
Default Level
3: Manage level
Parameters
server-address: IP address or host name of a TFTP server.
get: Downloads a file in normal mode.
put: Uploads a file.
sget: Downloads a file in secure mode.
source-filename: Source file name.
destination-filename: Destination file name.
source: Configures parameters for source address binding.
l interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies the source interface by its type and number. The primary IP address configured on the source interface is the source IP address of the packets sent by TFTP. If no primary IP address is configured on the source interface, the transmission fails.
l ip source-ip-address: Specifies the source IP address for the current TFTP client to transmit packets. This source address must be an IP address that has been configured on the device.
Description
Use the tftp command to upload files from the local device to a TFTP server or download files from the TFTP server to the local device.
l If no destination file name is specified, a file is saved using the same name as that on the remote FTP server to the current working directory of the user (namely, the working directory where the tftp command is executed).
l The priority of the source address specified with this command is higher than that specified with the tftp client source command. If you use the tftp client source command to specify the source address first and then with the tftp command, the latter one is adopted.
This command applies to IPv4 networks.
Related commands: tftp client source.
Examples
# Download the config.cfg file from the TFTP server with the IP address of 192.168.0.98 and save it as config.bak. Specify the source IP address to be 192.168.0.92.
<Sysname> tftp 192.168.0.98 get config.cfg config.bak source ip 192.168.0.92

tftp client source
Syntax
tftp client source { interface interface-type interface-number | ip source-ip-address }
undo tftp client source
View
System view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies the source interface by its type and number. The primary IP address configured on the source interface is the source IP address of the packets sent by TFTP. If no primary IP address is configured on the source interface, the transmission fails.
ip source-ip-address: The source IP address of TFTP connections. It must be an IP address that has been configured on the device.
Description
Use the tftp client source command to configure the source address of the TFTP packets from the TFTP client.
Use the undo telnet client source command to restore the default.
By default, a device uses the IP address of the interface determined by the matched route as the source IP address to communicate with a TFTP server.
Note that:
l The source address can be specified as the source interface and the source IP; if you use the tftp client source command to specify the source interface and then the source IP, the newly specified source IP overwrites the configured source interface and vice versa.
l If the source address is specified with the tftp client source command and then with the tftp command, the source address specified with the latter one is used to communicate with the TFTP server.
l The source address specified with the tftp client source command is valid for all tftp connections and the source address specified with the tftp command is valid for the current tftp command.
Related commands: display tftp client configuration.
Examples
# Specify the source IP address of the TFTP client as 2.2.2.2.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] tftp client source ip 2.2.2.2
# Specify the source interface of the TFTP client as Vlan-interface1.
