ZyWALL 2 User’s Guide

TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the ZyWALL to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.

33.3.7 TFTP Command Example

The following is an example TFTP command:

tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom

Where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the ZyWALL IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the ZyWALL (rom-0, name of the configuration file on the ZyWALL) to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.
