### Copying the Configuration File to a Host

This section describes how to copy the Digi One RealPort or PortServer TS configuration file to a remote host for editing.

#### Starting Point

This procedure assumes that you

- Have an existing configuration on the Digi device that you want to copy to a remote host for editing
- Are logged in to the Digi device as root, which is a requirement for using the cpconf command to copy the configuration file to a host

#### Procedure

1. Create a file with appropriate write permissions on the remote host.
2. Ensure that TFTP is running on the remote host.
3. Supply a cpconf command with a tohost field that specifies the following:

- The IP address of the target host
- The name of the file that will hold the configuration.

#### Example

`

`cpconf tohost=199.250.121.12 cnfg-file`
