Using FTP Directly: The Binary Configuration File (ima_config.bin)

29.3. The Binary Configuration File (ima_config.bin)

The binary configuration file is located in the CONFIG library— Config (case-sensitive in G32). The file name is

ima_cfg.bin.

You will only want to work directly with this configuration file if you have made settings in one print server that you want to transfer to another. Therefore, you must first retrieve the file and save it on an accessible drive; then you can load the file from this drive to the PDF directory of another print server. The name of the drive and library you use could, for example, be C:\PrintServerConfigs.

When a configuration file is retrieved, the settings activated on the last reboot or start-up are copied. Changes made after a reboot are not contained in the file.

In the example below, we will take the configurations from the print server at 192.168.0.227 and transfer them to another print server at 192.168.0.170.

To retrieve

1Start an FTP session to the print server whose configurations you want to transfer.

ftp 192.168.0.277

2Change to the CONFIG library.

cd Config (case sensitive in G32)

3Change to binary transfer mode.

binary

4Retrieve the binary configuration file. Syntax: get <source> <target>.

The file name in the <source> part of the command must match the case of the file name in the FTP directory. Example:

get ima_cfg.bin c:\PrintServerConfigs\ima_cfg.bin

5Terminate the FTP session.
