A. After you log in through FTP, you do not need to change directories in order to upload the firmware.

18.2 Configuration Files and Shell Scripts Overview

You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the NWA/WAC.
When you apply a configuration file, the NWA/WAC uses the factory default settings for any
features that the configuration file does not include. Shell scripts are files of commands that you
can store on the NWA/WAC and run when you need them. When you run a shell script, the NWA/
WAC only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the NWA/WAC.
Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
