# Configure the Network Management Workstation

Before you can manage the flash file system on a router, you must configure your network management workstation to support it. You must also configure each router on which flash files are to be managed.

For an NMS running under UNIX

Set up the .rhosts file on the local workstation to enable the rcp command.

For an NMS running under Windows NT

Create the directory C:\tmp with the Windows NT Explorer, File Manager, or Command Prompt. The software uses this directory to store temporary scratch files when it is editing local or remote files.

Set the TMP or TEMP environment variables (or both) to specify the pathname of the temporary directory as follows:

|  | Open the System Control Panel and click the Environment tab.
|  | Look in the User Variables window. If the variable TMP or TEMP appears with the pathname C:\tmp as its value, no more need be done.
|  | In the Variable field, enter TMP (or TEMP).
|  | In the Value field, enter C:\tmp as the pathname.

If you do not create the directory and set the environment variable, then when you run the Flash File System utility the CiscoView software pops up a dialog box asking you to do so.

The Flash File Systems tool is not supported under Windows 95.
