23.7 Command Line FTP

This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the switch using FTP commands.
First, understand the filename conventions.
23.7.1

Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings in the screens such as
password, switch setup, IP Setup, etc. It arrives from ZyXEL with a "rom" filename extension. 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.
FILE TYPE INTERNAL
Configuration File Rom-0
Firmware Ras
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 rom-0 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 "rom-0" 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

switch configurations, system-related data (including the
default password), the error log and the trace log.
This is the generic name for the OS firmware on the switch.
