Flash Utility
The flash.bat utility lets you copy, delete or rename files on the flash disk: it switches the
flash disk to write mode, performs the operation, and then returns the flash disk to read-only
mode. The LWP software copies flash.bat onto the E:\ drive the first time you start the
terminal.
Deleting
To delete a named file from the current directory of the flash disk:
flash del filename.ext
To delete all the files in the root directory of the flash disk:
flash del \*.*
Important! You don’t have to name the E: drive to erase all of the root directory files.
Copying
To copy the protocol stack configuration file (net.cfg) from the current directory to the root
directory on the flash disk:
flash copy net.cfg \
To copy a file (filename.ext) from the SVTP directory on the flash disk to the STEP
directory on the flash disk:
flash copy e:\svtp\filename.ext \step
Note: If you are copying from the E:\ drive, specify it on the first command parameter, but
do NOT specify it on the second parameter, where it is assumed. You can only use this option
to copy to the flash drive.
Renaming
To rename netcfg.1 in the flash disk root directory to net.cfg:
flash ren \netcfg.1 net.cfg
Normal restrictions for a DOS file re-name apply, i.e., netcfg.1 must exist and net.cfg
must not exist in the directory before the command is executed.
