35.5.6 TFTP Upload Command Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras
Where "i" specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), "host"
is the ZyWALL's IP address, "put" transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of
the firmware on the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on
the ZyWALL).
Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.
35.5.7 Uploading Via Console Port
FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your ZyWALL. However, in the
event of your network being down, uploading files is only possible with a direct connection to your
ZyWALL via the console port. Uploading files via the console port under normal conditions is not
recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial communications program should work fine;
however, you must use the Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload.
