CHAPTER 39
File Manager
39.1 Overview
Configuration files define the ZyWALL’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you can
store on the ZyWALL and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or run a shell
script without the ZyWALL restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and shell script files
on the ZyWALL. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to
the ZyWALL. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.
39.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 39.2 on page 501) to store and name
configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the ZyWALL to your computer
and upload configuration files from your computer to the ZyWALL.
•Use the Firmware Package screen (see Section 39.3 on page 505) to check your current
firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL.
•Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 39.4 on page 507) to store, name, download, upload
and run shell script files.
39.1.2 What you Need to Know
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the ZyWALL uses the factory default settings for any features
that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL only applies
the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
