44.8 FTP Command Line
This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the
Switch using FTP commands. First, understand the filename conventions.
44.8.1 Filename Conventions
The configuration file (also known as the romfile or ROM) contains the factory
default settings in the screens such as password, Switch setup, IP Setup, and so
on. Once you have customized the Switch’s settings, they can be saved back to
your computer under a filename of your choosing.
