1.3.3 Access via FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), in order to:

Restore or backup configuration files, templates or language packs. Upgrade your configuration or firmware.

File system The SpeedTouch™ file system is stored on nonvolatile memory, and contains the SpeedTouch™ software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.

FTP session To open an FTP session:

1Open a Command Prompt window.

In Windows XP for instance:

1On the Windows task bar, click Start.

2Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

2At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch™ (default is 192.168.1.254).

3Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.

The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.

4The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system:

File system structure The structure of the file system is very simple: It consists of a single root directory called root and a subdirectory called dl.

The root directory contains:

all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly the dl directory

The dl (download) directory contains the software image.

If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl subdirectory.
