Chapter 22 Tools

UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the device to the computer, “put” the other way around, and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

TFTP Upload Command Example

The following is an example TFTP command:

tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras

Where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the device’s IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of the firmware on the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the device).

Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

Using the FTP Commands to Back Up Configuration

1Launch the FTP client on your computer.

2Enter “open”, followed by a space and the IP address of your ZyXEL Device.

3Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

4Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).

5Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.

6Use “get” to transfer files from the ZyXEL Device to the computer, for example, “get rom-0 config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the ZyXEL Device to your computer and renames it “config.rom”. See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.

7Enter “quit” to exit the ftp prompt.
