Ftp Command Line Procedure; Gui-Based Ftp Clients - ZyXEL Communications ZyXEL Dimension GS-4012F User Manual

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.
