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.
