Alias Commands

Because the new file system functionality is the third generation of file management systems for Cisco IOS, alias commands have been established to provide backward compatibility for commands that existed in previous operating systems. This backward compatibility enables you to use file management commands that you might have learned in previous releases without having to relearn the new command structure.

The tables shows the alias commands and the IFS equivalent command.
