File Editor

Use the File Editor to create and edit files stored on the router. These files contain configuration and other data
used by the router. For advanced users who understand the file formats and syntax, this method may be more
efficient than configuring the router with commands or the web interface, particularly when the amount of data
is large or complex.
To use the File Editor:
1. Click File Editor on the left navigation pane of the Router Information window. This displays the File Editor
page with a list of stored files in the left navigation pane.
2. Do one of the following:
•
To create a new file, enter file text in the editing window and the name of the file in File name (using
filename.txt format), then click Save.
•
To edit an existing file, click the file you want to edit on the left navigation pane. This displays the
contents of the file in the editing window. Make your changes and click Save.
Edits can be discarded without saving by clicking the Home link at the bottom of the navigation pane. If you
save a file with the same name as an existing file, the existing file will be immediately over-written.
