I think "router> copy null flash:filename" should do the trick. Make use of the cisco online help. For example, using the ? char as below will provide you with most of what you need on ciscos. router> copy ? /erase Erase destination file system. flash: Copy from flash: file system ftp: Copy from ftp: file system null: Copy from null: file system nvram: Copy from nvram: file system rcp: Copy from rcp: file system running-config Copy from current system configuration slot0: Copy from slot0: file system slot1: Copy from slot1: file system startup-config Copy from startup configuration system: Copy from system: file system tftp: Copy from tftp: file system xmodem: Copy from xmodem: file system ymodem: Copy from ymodem: file system router> copy null ? flash: Copy to flash: file system ftp: Copy to ftp: file system lex: Copy to lex: file system null: Copy to null: file system nvram: Copy to nvram: file system rcp: Copy to rcp: file system running-config Update (merge with) current system configuration startup-config Copy to startup configuration system: Copy to system: file system tftp: Copy to tftp: file system router> copy null I used one of the Cisco 3660's here for these examples (rather than a 3640 you have) but the results will be pretty much the same.
