the ZyXEL Device's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a
filename of your choosing.
ftp> put firmware.bin ras
This is a sample FTP session showing the transfer of the computer file
"firmware.bin" to the ZyXEL Device.
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 ZyXEL Device only
recognizes “rom-0” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of both files for
later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to
the filename on the ZyXEL Device and the external filename refers to the filename
not
on the ZyXEL Device, that is, on your computer, local network and so the
name (but not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, see the
Status screen to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
FTP Restrictions
FTP will not work when:
1 You are not logged on to the ZyXEL Device as an administrator (username
‘admin’).
2 The firewall is active (turn the firewall off or create a firewall rule to allow access
from the WAN).
3 You have disabled the FTP service in the Advanced > Service Control screen.
