34.8 FTP Command Line

This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the Switch using
FTP commands. First, understand the filename conventions.

34.8.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (also known as the romfile or ROM) contains the factory default
settings in the screens such as password, Switch setup, IP Setup, and so on. Once you have
customized the Switch's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of
your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System, sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) is the
system firmware and has a "bin" filename extension.

34.8.1.1 Example FTP Commands
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the
Switch.
ftp> get config config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called "config.cfg" on
your computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the
source, you will need to rename them as the Switch only recognizes "config" and "ras". Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model
firmware may damage your device.

2 Enter

DESCRIPTION
This is the configuration (config) filename on the
Switch. Uploading the config file replaces the
specified configuration file system, including your
Switch configurations, system-related data (including
the default password), the error log and the trace log.
This is the generic name for the ZyNOS firmware on
the Switch.
