Administration File Management

This section of the Manager lets you manage files in VPN 3002 Flash memory. (Flash memory acts like a disk.) These files include CONFIG, CONFIG.BAK, saved log files, and copies of any of these files that you have saved under different names.

Figure 12-13 Administration File Management View Screen

View (Save)

View Files lets you view configuration and saved log files. You can also save these files to the PC on which you are viewing them.

To view a file, click View next to the type of file you want to see. The Manager opens a new browser window to display the file, and the browser address bar shows the filename.

You can also save a copy of the file on the PC that is running the browser. Click the File menu on the new browser window and select Save As.... The browser opens a dialog box that lets you save the file.

The default filename is the same as on the VPN 3002.

Note Be sure to save a configuration file as a .TXT file, not a .HTM file. Some browser versions default to saving the file as an .HTM file, so you may need to change the file type. Saving the file as an .HTM file causes some data to be added to the top of the configuration file that is not valid configuration data. If you subsequently upload the file containing the invalid data to the VPN Concentrator or VPN 3002, it may cause unpredictable results.

Alternatively, you can use the secondary mouse button to click View on this Manager screen. A pop-up menu presents choices whose exact wording depends on your browser, but among them are:

Open Link, Open Link in New Window, Open in New Window = Open and view the file in a new browser window, as above.

Save Target As..., Save Link As... = Save a copy of the file on your PC. Your system will prompt for a filename and location. The default filename is the same as on the VPN 3002.

When you are finished viewing or saving the file, close the new browser window.

Delete

Delete lets you delete configuration and saved log files. To delete a file, click Delete nest to the type of file you want to delete. When you select this option, a pop-up window displays asking you to confirm or cancel. If you confirm, the file is deleted; the Manager refreshes the screen and shows the revised list of files. There is no undo.
