Ftp Command Line Procedure; Gui-Based Ftp Clients - ZyXEL Communications GS2210 Series User Manual

This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the Switch.
ftp> get config config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called "config.cfg" on your
computer.
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.
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong
model firmware may damage your device.
