This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file “firmware.bin” to the
ZyXEL Device.
ftp> get config config.rom
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to a file called “config” 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 ZyXEL Device only recognizes “config” and
“ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
