Backup Configuration

FTP is the preferred method for backing up your current configuration to your computer because it is very
fast.
Please note that terms "download" and "upload" are relative to the computer. Download means to transfer
from the Prestige to the computer, while upload means from your computer to the Prestige.

7.2.1 Using the FTP Command from the Command Line

Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.
Step 2.
Enter "open", followed by a space and the IP address of your Prestige.
Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234").
Step 5. Enter "bin" to set transfer mode to binary.
Step 6.
Use "get" to transfer files from the Prestige to the computer, for example, "get rom-0 config.rom"
transfers the configuration file on the Prestige to your computer and renames it "config.rom". See
earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.
Step 7. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt.
