Hi,

You may follow any of the following procedure.

OPTION 1:  Saving the output to a text file on the desktop using Putty.

Using PUTTY:
1. Run Putty software.
On the left side of the pop up you will find an option LOGGING, Click that and on the right side, choose “ALL SESSIONS OUTPUTS”.
2. Click on Browse and select the destination as Desktop, also give a name to the file(EX: switchlog.txt).
 
3. Now, Click on Session on the left hand side and on right side type in the IP Address of the switch and click on telnet/SSH and then OK.
 
4. Now you will get the Switch’s prompt and type in the command, and select 'N' so that the output is displayed on the terminal and saved to the file (switchlog.txt) on desktop.

Example:
<SW-A>disp diagnostic-information
Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:N
Please input the file name(*.tar.gz)[flash:/diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz]:
Diagnostic information is outputting to flash:/diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz.
Please wait...
Save successfully.

<SW-A>dir
Directory of flash:
   0 -rw-       40238 Mar 27 2019 05:57:01   diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz

OPTION 2: Saving the output to flash, and exporting to TFTP server

Example:

<SW-A>display diagnostic-information
Save or display diagnostic information (Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:Y
Please input the file name(*.tar.gz)[flash:/diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz]:
Diagnostic information is outputting to flash:/diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz.
Please wait...
Save successfully.

<SW-A>dir
Directory of flash:
   0 -rw-       40238 Mar 27 2019 05:57:01   diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz

<SW-A>tftp 10.1.1.100 put flash:/diag_SW-A_20190327-055701.tar.gz

Option #2 is the preferred approach.  Doing it with Putty is slower and you run the risk of not getting the entire display diag which can be quite long.

Options #2 is much faster and you will get the entire diag.  Then you can FTP or TFTP it off of the switch.
