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.
