29.10 FTP Command Line
This section shows some examples of uploading to the OLT from your computer or
downloading files from the OLT to your computer using FTP commands. First, understand the
filename conventions.
29.10.1 Filename Conventions
The configuration file contains the factory default settings in the screens such as password,
OLT setup, IP Setup, etc.. Once you have customized the OLT's settings, they can be saved
back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.
ZyNOS (ZyXEL Network Operating System sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) is the
system firmware and has a “bin” filename extension.
29.10.1.1 Example FTP Commands
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file "firmware.bin" to the
OLT.
ftp> get config config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config.cfg” on
your computer.
If your (T)FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the
source, you will need to rename them as the OLT only recognizes “config” and “ras”. Be sure
you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
"
Be sure to upload the correct model firmware as uploading the wrong model
firmware may damage your device.
