Configuring M204 Parameters Using FTP
Users have two ways of configuring the M204's parameters using FTPD. The first is
by uploading binary files to the /config directory and the second is by uploading text
configuration files to the /exec directory. We discuss each method and give appropriate
examples below.
1. /config directory
The /config directory is divided into three subdirectories; current, stored, and
default. Each of the files in these sub-directories represent one data structure regard-
ing the configuration of the unit. These files can be used to make a backup copy of the
unit's configuration parameters or to copy configuration parameters from one unit to
another.
The configuration files are in binary form and their format may differ between firm-
ware versions. Users may not be able to upload a configuration file that was down-
loaded from a previous version.
