26.9 FTP Command Line
This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the ONU using
FTP commands. First, understand the filename conventions.
26.9.1 Filename Conventions
The configuration file (also known as the romfile or ROM) contains the factory default
settings in the screens such as password, ONU setup, IP Setup, and so on. Once you have
customized the ONU’s settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of
your choosing.
26.9.1.1 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
ONU.
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 ONU only recognizes “config” and “ras”. Be sure
you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
