Configuring M208 Parameters Using FTP
Users have two ways of configuring the M208's parameters using FTPD. The first is
by uploading binary files to the /config directory and the second is by uploading text
configuration files to the /exec directory. We discuss each method and give appropriate
examples below.
1. /config directory
The /config directory is divided into three subdirectories; current, stored, and
default. Each of the files in these sub-directories represent one data structure regard-
ing the configuration of the unit. These files can be used to make a backup copy of the
unit's configuration parameters or to copy configuration parameters from one unit to
another.
