150 USING THE M208’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: FTP Daemon
The configuration files are in binary form and their format may differ between firm-
ware versions. Users may not be able to upload a configuration file that was down-
loaded from a previous version.
Copying a Configuration Using FTP
The following example shows how to copy a configuration file using FTP:
1 Login to the M208 using ftp.
ftp
ipname
2 Login as root.
You must be a root user in order to copy a configuration file.
3 Change to the config/stored directory.
cd config/stored
4 Set mode to binary.
bin
5 Turn off the interactive mode.
prompt
6 Download all the files in this directory.
mget *
Downloads a copy of all files in the config/stored directory to the user’s local
directory on their host.
7 Logout of the FTP session.
quit
Now you have a copy of the M208’s stored configuration parameters. These files can
be saved for archival purposes, used to reconfigure the unit to a previous setting, or
used to set a number of units to the same configuration.
It is only necessary to save the files from the stored directory. Files from the default
and current directory are not required in order to restore a unit’s configuration.
Restoring a Configuration Using FTP
FTP can be used to restore a configuration saved from the unit or restore a configura-
tion saved from another unit.
