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.

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 a subdirectory called dl (download).

The root directory contains:

all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to start correctly

the dl directory

The dl 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.
