17.4.3 Using the FTP command from the DOS Prompt Example

Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.

Step 2. Enter “open” and the IP address of your ZyAIR. Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

Step 4. Enter “root” and your SMT password as requested. The default is 1234. Step 5. Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.

Step 6. Use “put” to transfer files from the computer to the ZyAIR, e.g., put firmware.bin ras transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the ZyAIR and renames it “ras”. Similarly “put config.rom rom-0” transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.rom) to the ZyAIR and renames it “rom-0”. Likewise “get rom-0 config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the ZyAIR to your computer and renames it “config.rom.” See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.

Step 7. Enter “quit” to exit the FTP prompt.
