Administration File Management Config File Upload

Administration File Management Config File Upload

This screen lets you use HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to transfer a configuration file from your PC, or a system accessible from your PC, to the VPN 3002 Flash memory.

This function provides special handling for configuration (config) files. If the uploaded file has the VPN 3002 filename config, the system deletes any existing config.bak file, renames the existing config file as config.bak, then writes the new config file. However, these actions occur only if the file transfer is successful, so existing files are not corrupted.

To use these functions, you must have Administrator or Configuration Access Rights. See the

Administration Access Rights Administrators screen.

Local Config File/Browse...

Enter the name of the file on your PC. In a Windows environment, enter the complete pathname using MS-DOS syntax; for example, c:\vpn3002\config0077. You can also click the Browse button to open a file navigation window, find the file, and select it.

Upload/Cancel

To upload the file to the VPN 3002, click Upload. The Manager opens the File Upload Progress window.

To cancel your entries on this screen, or to stop a file upload that is in progress, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Administration File Management View screen. Stopping an upload might leave a temporary file in VPN 3002 Flash memory. Such files are named TnnnF.nnn (for example, T003F.002). You can delete them on the Administration File Management View Config Files screen.

File Upload Progress

This window shows the progress of the file upload. It refreshes the number of bytes transferred at 10-second intervals.
