17.3.6 GUI-based TFTP Clients
The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.
Refer to Section 17.3.3 on page 251 to read about configurations that disallow FTP over
WAN.
17.4 Restore Configuration
This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this
function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration;
please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.
FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your
ZyWALL since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically
restart after the file transfer is complete.
Note: WARNING! Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR ZyWALL. When the Restore Configuration
process is complete, the ZyWALL will automatically restart.
