and has a "bin" filename extension.

44.10.2.1 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.

the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the Switch and renames it to "ras". Similarly, put
config.cfg config transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.cfg) to the Switch and
renames it to "config". Likewise get config config.cfg transfers the configuration file on the Switch
