The SpeedTouch™ File System
The SpeedTouch™ permanent storage, further referred to as 'file system', exists of nonvolatile memory responsible for
storing, retrieving and maintaining the SpeedTouch™ software image(s), Service Template files and optionally default
settings files.
The file system of the SpeedTouch™ is accessible via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transport protocol. This allows to
transfer the SpeedTouch™ software image(s) and/or Service Template files and default settings files.
Proceed as indicated in the example below to open an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system:
SpeedTouch™ File System Structure
The files system features a tiny multilevel directory structure with a single root node called 'root' and two leaf nodes
called 'active' and 'dl'. The 'root' contains:
•
all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly.
•
the 'active' subdirectory always contains the software image in execution, i.e. the active software image.
•
the 'dl' directory contains the dormant software image, i.e. the passive software image . If you have made changes
to the SpeedTouch™configuration and saved them (be it via a Telnet session, via the web pages or via the Setup
wizard), a user.ini Service Template file is created in the 'dl' subdirectory.
In other words, after each 'Save all', or config save all, the user.ini Service Template file present in the 'dl'
subdirectory reflects the current configuration of the SpeedTouch™.
SpeedTouch™ File System Access Rights
From the ‘root’ directory, you can access the ‘active’ and ‘dl’ subdirectories. No read/write permission is granted for
the ‘root’ directory.
Following access rights apply for the subdirectories:
•
for the 'active' subdirectory:
•
Listing of 'active' subdirectory files (dir)
•
FTP (m)get of (multiple) 'active' subdirectory files
•
for the 'dl' subdirectory:
•
Listing of 'dl' subdirectory files (dir)
•
FTP (m)get of (multiple) 'dl' subdirectory files
•
FTP (m)put of (multiple) 'dl' subdirectory files
•
FTP (m)delete of (multiple) 'dl' subdirectory files.
