Getting to know your SpeedTouch™

1.2.3 Access via FTP

To access the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

File system

To open an FTP session

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

Restore or back up configuration files, templates or language packs.

Upgrade your configuration or firmware.

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

Proceed as follows:

1Open a Command Prompt window.

In Microsoft Windows XP for instance:

1On the Windows taskbar, click Start.

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

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

3Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.

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

The 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 two subdirectories called active and dl (download).

The root directory contains:

all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to start correctly

the active and the dl directories

The active directory contains the active software image.

The dl directory contains the passive 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.
