25.10 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.

25.10.1 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, etc.. 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.
