250 Chapter 17 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
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 ZyWALL only recognizes “rom-0” and “ras”. Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the ZyWALL and the external filename refers to the filename
not on the ZyWALL, that is,
on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary.
After uploading new firmware, see the
Home screen to confirm that you have uploaded the
correct firmware version.
17.3 Backup Configuration
Note: The ZyWALL displays messages explaining how to backup, restore and upload
files via FTP.
Please note that terms “download” and “upload” are relative to the computer. Download
means to transfer from the ZyWALL to the computer, while upload means from your
computer to the ZyWALL.
17.3.1 Using the FTP Command from the Command Line
1 Launch the FTP client on your computer.
2
Enter “open”, followed by a space and the IP address of your ZyWALL.
3 Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
4
Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).
5 Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.
6
Use “get” to transfer files from the ZyWALL to the computer, for example, “get rom-0
config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the ZyWALL to your computer and
renames it “config.rom”. See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename
conventions.
7
Enter “quit” to exit the ftp prompt.
