Using FTP Directly: Upgrades of Firmware and Fonts (FFS files)

29. Using FTP Directly

29.1. Upgrades of Firmware and Fonts (FFS files)

1Download the firmware file from the Intermate web site. As our example, let us take the main code for Intermate100, G22_2021.zip.

Note: You will need a decompressing tool based on the ZIP algorithm (for example WinZip®).

2A single left click on the file name will bring up a File Download dialog box asking whether you want to open the file or save it.

When you open it (directly or after having saved it), you can then extract G22_2021.ffs to an accessible place on your PC or other host. This could, for example, be C:\PrintServerUpdates.

3Start an FTP session to your Intermate100.

ftp 192.168.0.227

4Give the user name and password for the print server.

5Change to the library containing the firmware component to be upgraded. To fit our example, you would do this:

cd Maincode

(Case sensitive on G32- or G34-based units.)

Important:

Be sure to select the correct library. Storing the wrong type of file in the wrong place can cause the system to lock.

On G32, this is not be a problem, because the new file system will check headers and make sure that nothing gets placed in the wrong library.

6Select binary transfer mode.

binary

7Download the file from your PC to the print server. The syntax is:

put <source> <target>
