File management

This chapter provides information about file system management.

SR OS file system

The SR OS file system is used to store files used and generated by the system; for example, image files, configuration files, logging files, and accounting files.

The file commands allow you to copy, create, move, and delete files and directories, navigate to a different directory, and display file or directory contents and the image version.

Although some of the storage devices on routers are not actually compact flash devices (for example, cf1: on the 7950 XRS is an internal SSD), all storage devices are referred to as compact flash.

Storage devices

In the 7750 SR and 7450 ESS, each control processor can have up to three storage devices numbered one through three. In the 7950 XRS, each CCM has an SSD and up to two compact flash devices. The names for these devices are:

cf1:
cf2:
cf3:

The above device names are relative device names as they refer to the devices local to the control processor with the current console session. The colon (‟:”) at the end of the name indicates it is a device.

The three compact flash devices on the 7450 ESS and 7750 SR OS are removable and have an administrative state.

The cf2: and cf3: compact flash devices on the 7950 XRS routers are removable and have an administrative state. cf1: is an internal SSD.

Devices vary by platform as compact flash, SD card, USB, or embedded SSD.

Note: To prevent corrupting open files in the file system, only remove a compact flash that is administratively shutdown. SR OS gracefully closes any open files on the device, so it can be safely removed.

URLs

The arguments for the SR OS file commands are modeled after standard universal resource locater (URL). A URL refers to a file (a file-url) or a directory (a directory-url).

SR OS supports operations on both the local file system and on remote files. For the purposes of categorizing the applicability of commands to local and remote file operations, URLs are divided into five types of URLs: local, ftp, tftp, http, https, and scp. The syntax for each of the URL types are listed in URL types and syntax.

Table 1. URL types and syntax
URL type	Syntax	Notes
`local-url`	[`cflash-id`:\]`path`	`cflash-id` is the compact flash device name. Values: cf1:, cf2:, cf3:
`ftp-url`	ftp://[`username`[:`password`]@]`host`/`path`	An absolute FTP path from the root of the remote file system. `username` is the FTP username `password` is the FTP user password `host` is the FTP server `path` is the path to the directory or file
	ftp://[`username`[:`password`]@]`host`/./path	A relative FTP path from the user’s home directory. Note the period and slash (‟./”) in this syntax compared to the absolute path.
`tftp-url`	tftp://`host`[/`path`]/`filename`	TFTP is only supported for operations on a `file-url`.
`http-url`	http://[`username[:password]@]host`[:`port`]/`path`	`host` is the HTTP server `port` defaults to 80
`https-url`	https://`[username[:password]@]host`[:`port`]/`path`	`host` is the HTTPS server `port` defaults to 443
`scp-url`	scp://`username`@`host`:`path`	`username` is the SSH username `host` is the SSH server `path` is the path to the directory or file

If the host portion of a URL is an IPv6 address, enclose the URL in quotes and the address in square brackets, as shown in the following examples.

"ftp://username:password@[2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888]/testfile.txt"
"scp://username@[2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888]/testfile.txt"

The system accepts forward slash (/) or backslash (\) characters to delimit directory and/or filenames in URLs. Similarly, the SR OS SCP client application can use either slash or backslash characters, but not all SCP clients treat backslash characters as equivalent to slash characters. In particular, UNIX systems often interprets the backslash character as an escape character. This can cause problems when using an external SCP client application to send files to the SCP server. If the external system treats the backslash like an escape character, the backslash delimiter gets stripped by the parser and is not transmitted to the SCP server.

For example, a destination directory specified as ‟cf1:\dir1\file1” is transmitted to the SCP server as ‟cf1:dir1file1” where the backslash escape characters are stripped by the SCP client system before transmission. On systems where the client treats the backslash like an escape character, a double backslash (\\) or the forward slash (/) can typically be used to properly delimit directories and the filename.

When a special character is used in a password, it can cause issues when that password is encoded as part of a URL. To prevent this issue, percent encoding can be used. Percent encoding is a mechanism to encode 8-bit characters that have specific meaning in the context of URLs. The encoding consists of substitution of a percent character (%) followed by the hexadecimal representation of the ASCII value of the replaced character.

Some file manipulation commands such as copying, removing, or moving files, may request access to an HTTP or HTTPS server. If an HTTP or HTTPS server redirects the system to a different URL (from an "HTTP 301" error or similar response), the system prompts the user "y/n" to either repeat the operation with the new URL or terminate it. These file commands can be configured to force the HTTP redirects without prompting or they can be configured to refuse HTTP redirects. If a file command is redirected more than eight times, or if it queries an HTTPS URL and gets redirected to an HTTP URL, the command automatically terminates as a security measure.

Use the following command to refuse HTTP redirects:

MD-CLI

copy source-url destination-url direct-http

classic CLI
```
copy source-url dest-url no-redirect
```

Use the following command to force the HTTP redirects without prompting:

MD-CLI
```
copy source-url destination-url force
```
classic CLI
```
copy source-url dest-url force
```

When connecting to an HTTPS server, the system verifies the server's TLS certificate. For the certificate to pass verification, the system must have a CA profile already configured for the server's Certificate Authority (CA), which specifies up-to-date certificate and CRL files. HTTPS file commands do not use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). If the certificate was issued by an intermediate CA, the system must have a CA profile for every CA tracing back to the root CA. If the server's certificate fails verification for any reason, the file command terminates. See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, and VSR Multiservice Integrated Service Adapter and Extended Services Appliance Guide for more information about CA profiles.

Use the following CLI command to configure the CA profile:

configure system security pki ca-profile

An HTTPS file command may also include a client-tls-profile configuration parameter, referring to a client TLS profile that provides the cipher list, client certificate, and trust anchor the system uses when communicating with the HTTPS server. See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR System Management Guide for more information about client TLS profiles.

A file command that connects to an HTTP or HTTPS server outside the local network may need to use an HTTP proxy. The user may specify a proxy server (which must be an HTTP URL).

HTTP digest authentication

For HTTP or HTTPS file commands only, the HTTP digest authentication scheme can be used with the HTTP authentication mechanism as described in RFC 7616 and RFC 2617. The following hash algorithms are supported:

MD5
SHA-256
SHA-512/256

Wildcards and special characters

SR OS supports the standard wildcard characters. The asterisk (*) can represent zero or more characters in a string of characters, and the question mark (?) can represent any one character and must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").

MD-CLI

[file "cf3:\"]
A:admin@node-2# copy bof.* testdir
11 file(s) copied.

[file "cf3:\"]
A:admin@node-2#

classic CLI

Text editor

The text editor allows the user to edit an ASCII text file. When the user modifies the configuration using a configuration mode, the system validates whether the user is allowed to perform configuration changes. When the text editor is used to edit a configuration file, these validation checks do not occur. For this reason, administrator privileges are required to access the text editor, and the user profile must be modified to allow this access.

Access permission for the directory where the file resides must be granted before a user can open, read, or write a file. If the user does not have permission to access the directory, the operation is denied.

Summary of text editor commands

The text editor operates in the following modes:

command mode

In this mode, every character entered is a command that causes an action to be taken on the text file. For example, the character “O” typed in command mode causes the text editor to enter insert mode.
insert mode

In this mode, every character typed is added to the text in the file. Pressing Esc turns off insert mode.

Using text editor commands

Use the commands described in the tables in this section to do the following:

start and end text editor sessions
move within a file
enter new text
modify, move, and delete existing text
read from and write to other files

The following table describes the commands to cut, paste, and delete text.

File management tasks in the classic CLI

The following sections are basic system tasks that can be performed in the classic CLI.

For more information about the supported classic CLI commands, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Classic CLI Command Reference Guide.

When a file system operation is performed that can potentially remove or overwrite a file system entry, a prompt appears to confirm the action. The force keyword performs the operation without displaying the confirmation prompt.

All the commands can operate on the local file system. The following table indicates the commands that also support remote file operations.

Modifying file attributes

The system administrator can change the read-only attribute in the local file. Enter the attrib command with no options to display the contents of the directory and the file attributes.

Note: A file with an ‟R” preceding the filename indicates that the file is read-only.

File configuration output

     A:node-2>file cf3:\ # attrib

Creating directories

Use the md command to create a new directory in the local file system, one level at a time.

Enter the cd command to navigate to different directories.

Creating three levels of directories

A:node-2>file cf1:\ # md test1file cf1:\ # cd test1
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\ # md test2
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\ # cd test2
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # md test3
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # cd test3
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\test3 #

Copying files

Use the copy command to copy files to or from a flash device or an FTP-TFTP server.

The copy command supports wildcards.

The scp command copies files between hosts on a network. It uses SSH for data transfer, uses the same authentication, and provides the same security as SSH.

The source file for the scp command must be local. The file must reside on the router. The destination file does not need to be local, but it must be in the user@host:file-name format.

Image file and network host copy

A:node-2>file cf1:\ # copy 104.cfg cf1:\test1\test2\test3\test.cfg
A:node-2>file cf1:\ # scp file1 admin@192.168.x.x:cf1:\file1
A:node-2>file cf1:\ # scp file2 user2@192.168.x.x:/user2/file2
A:node-2>file cf1:\ # scp cf2:/file3 admin@192.168.x.x:cf1:\file3

Use the recursive keyword to recursively copy files and directories. If files or directories already exist, the operator is prompted to overwrite them. When the force keyword is enabled, a positive response to the overwrite prompts is assumed. The operator is not prompted for confirmation and the existing files or directories are overwritten.

Deleting files and removing directories

Use the delete and rd commands to delete files and remove directories. Directories can be removed even if they contain files or subdirectories. To remove a directory that contains files and subdirectories, use the rd rf command. When files or directories are deleted, they cannot be recovered. The force option deletes the file or directory without prompting the user to confirm.

Delete files and remove directories

A:node2>file cf1:\test1\ # delete test.cfg
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\ # delete abc.cfg
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # cd test3
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\test3\ # cd ..
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # rd test3
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # cd ..
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\ # rd test2
A:node-2>file cf1:\test1\ # cd ..
A:node-2>file cf1:\ # rd test1
A:node-2>file cf1:\ #

Unzipping files

Use the unzip command to expand the contents of a ZIP file to the local file system. Any file that is zipped using the store, deflate, or zip64 compression methods can be unzipped. An example is the SR OS software image available from the Nokia customer support portal.

The source ZIP file can be located locally on the installed solid-state storage device, or remotely on an FTP or TFTP server.

The create-destination keyword ensures that any non-existent directory structure that is explicitly entered as the destination file URL is created as part of the unzip operation.

Note:

The destination for the unzipped files and directories must be a locally installed solid-state storage device in the active CPM.
ZIP filenames, or the filenames of any contained files, must not include special characters.

Unzip command

A:node-2# file unzip demo.zip cf3:/mynewfolder/mynewsubfolder create-destination force
Verifying cf3:\demo.zip .. ... OK
Unzipping cf3:\demo.zip to cf3:\mynewfolder\mynewsubfolder\ .. .Processing demodir/
Processing demodir/myfile1.txt
Processing demodir/myfile2.txt
Processing demodir/demosubdir/
Processing demodir/demosubdir/myfile3.txt
Writing...OK

Repairing the file system

Use the repair command to check a compact flash device for errors and repair any errors found.

The following example shows the command syntax.

A:node-2>file cf3:\ # repair 
Checking drive cf3: on slot A for errors...
Drive cf31: on slot A is OK.

Displaying file checksums

Use the checksum command to display file checksums.

Use the version command to check the version of an SR OS .tim image file.

Checking the version of an SR OS .tim image file

A:node-2>file cf3:\ # version cpm.tim
TiMOS-C-20.10.R1
Wed Nov 4 09:18:17 PST 2020 by builder in /builds/c/2010B/R1/panos/main/sros

A:node-2>file cf3:\ # version cpm.tim check

Modifying file attributes

The system administrator can change the attribute of a local file or files in a directory.

Enter the permission command with no options to display the contents of the directory and the file attributes.

A single local file can be specified or the wildcard character (*) can be used to indicate multiple files. If no URL is specified, the command applies to all files in the directory.

A file with an ‟R” preceding the filename indicates the file is read-only; otherwise, the file is read-write.

Creating and navigating directories

New directories can be created in the local file system, one level at a time.

Use the make-directory command to create a new directory.

The change-directory command navigates to different directories.

Create and navigate directories

[file "cf3:\"]
A:admin@node-2# make-directory test1

[file "cf3:\"]
A:admin@node-2# change-directory test1

[file "cf3:\test1"]
A:admin@node-2# make-directory test2

[file "cf3:\test1"]
A:admin@node-2# change-directory test2

[file "cf3:\test1\test2"]
A:admin@node-2# make-directory test3

[file "cf3:\test1\test2"]
A:admin@node-2# change-directory test3

[file "cf3:\test1\test2\test3"]

Moving files

Files or directories can be moved from one location to another. The move command recursively moves files and directories, and overwrites existing content without prompting for confirmation. The move command supports wildcards.

The following example moves the md-config.cfg file to the test_dir1 directory.

Unzipping files

Use the unzip command to expand the contents of a ZIP file to the local file system. Any file zipped using the store, deflate, or zip64 compression methods can be unzipped. An example is the SR OS software image available from the Nokia customer support portal.

The source ZIP file location can be a locally installed solid-state storage device or a remote FTP or TFTP server.

The create-destination keyword ensures that any non-existent directory structure that is explicitly entered as the destination file URL is created as part of the unzip operation. This parameter is required to create new directories.

Note:

The destination for the unzipped files and directories must be a locally installed solid-state storage device in the active CPM.
ZIP filenames, or the filenames of any contained files, must not include special characters.

Unzipping a file

Repairing the file system

Use the repair command to check a compact flash device for errors and repair any errors found.

Command syntax

[file "cf3:\"]
A:admin@node-2# repair cflash-id cf3:
Checking drive cf3: on slot A for errors...
Drive cf3: on slot A is OK.

[file "cf3:\"]
A:admin@node-2# repair
Checking drive cf3: on slot A for errors...
Drive cf3: on slot A is OK.

Displaying file checksums

Use the checksum command to display file checksums.

Check a .tim image file checksum

The following example shows the output of the operation to check an SR OS .tim image file checksum.
