7.4.1 Firmware File Upload

FTP is the preferred method for uploading firmware and configuration files. To use this feature, your
computer must have an FTP client.

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 "put" to transfer files from the computer to the Prestige, for example, "put firmware.bin ras"
transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the Prestige and renames it "ras". See
earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.
Step 7. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt.
