File Manager

39.1 Overview

Configuration files define the ZyWALL’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can store on the ZyWALL and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell script without the ZyWALL restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files on the ZyWALL. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the ZyWALL. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.

39.1.1What You Can Do in this Chapter

•Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 39.2 on page 501) to store and name configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the ZyWALL to your computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the ZyWALL.

•Use the Firmware Package screen (see Section 39.3 on page 505) to check your current firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.

•Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 39.4 on page 507) to store, name, download, upload and run shell script files.

39.1.2What you Need to Know

Configuration Files and Shell Scripts

When you apply a configuration file, the ZyWALL uses the factory default settings for any features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
