Parameter
fast: Fast upgrading mode.
normal: Normal upgrading mode.
Description
Using the ftp update command, you can set the upgrading mode. Using the undo
ftp update command, you can restore the default upgrading mode.
By default, the FTP update is in fast mode.
The FTP server updates the data of files in its flash memory in two modes: normal
and fast, when receiving files transfered by the user using the FTP command PUT.
Each of two modes is demonstrated respectively as follows:
Fast mode: The FTP server writes the data to the flash memory after the
completion of the file transfer. This can safeguard that the files in the flash
memory of the Router will not be damaged even on abnormal occasions such as
power failure.
Normal mode: The FTP server writes the data to the flash memory during the file
transfer. This means that the occurence of some abnormal conditions such as
power failure might cause the damage of the files in the flash memory of the
Router. But the normal updating mode consumes fewer memmory.
Example
Set the FTP update mode to normal.
