6.2.1 Saving/restoring configuration information using FTP

This device provides FTP and SFTP server functions, and allows you to use PC or UNIXR system ftp and sftp commands
to save/restore configuration information.
This section presents an example of using the XG2600’s FTP server function with ftp commands.
To use the SFTP server function, sftp client software supporting SSH protocol version 2 is necessary. This would allow
you to use sftp commands just as you use ftp commands.
Use the following user name and password with the FTP server function:
User name : ftp-admin
Password : Specify the password configured with the password command
zFiles for maintenance
The FTP server function maintains files with the following names:
Configuration information 1 : config1
Configuration information 2 : config2
zRestart method
Enter "get reset" as a subcommand for the ftp command to restart the device.
To switch the configuration information, use "get reset1" or "get reset2" to restart the device.
When get reset" is entered : The current configuration information takes effect after restart.
When "get reset1" is entered : Configuration information 1 takes effect after restart.
When "get reset2" is entered : Configuration information 2 takes effect after restart.
Precautions
It is strongly recommended to define the password to ensure security.
While no password is defined, anyone can access to the device from the network, resulting in a very dangerous
situation.

Note When the password is not defined, the FTP server function works assuming that no password exists.
