Note that the telnet connection must be active before and during the TFTP
transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult
the documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer
from the ZyXEL Device to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
TFTP Command Configuration Backup Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom
where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring
binary files), “host” is the ZyXEL Device IP address, “get” transfers the file source
on the ZyXEL Device (rom-0, name of the configuration file on the ZyXEL Device)
to the file destination on the computer and renames it config.rom.
Configuration Backup Using GUI-based TFTP Clients
The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based
TFTP clients.
Refer to Section 25.1.2 on page 413 to read about configurations that disallow
TFTP and FTP over WAN.
