ftp> get rom-0 config.cfg
This is a sample FTP session saving the current configuration to the computer file “config.cfg”.
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

“y” when prompted in the SMT menu to go into debug mode.
