Using FTP

to Upload the Firmware and Configuration Files

In addition to upload the firmware and configuration file via the console port and TFTP client, you can also upload the firmware and configuration files to the ZyAIR using FTP.

To use this feature, your workstation must have a FTP client software. There are two examples as shown below.

1. Using FTP command in terminal
2. Using FTP client software

1. Using FTP command in terminal

Step 1 | Use FTP client from your workstation to connect to the ZyAIR by entering the IP address of the ZyAIR.
Step 2 | Press 'Enter' key to ignore the username, because the ZyAIR does not check the username.
Step 3 | Enter the SMT password as the FTP login password, the default is '1234'.
Step 4 | Enter command 'bin' to set the transfer type to binary.
Step 5 | Use 'put' command to transfer the file to the ZyAIR.

Note: The remote file name for the firmware is 'ras' and for the configuration file is 'rom-0' (rom-zero, not capital o).

Example:

`C:\temp>ftp 202.132.155.97 Connected to 202.132.155.97. 220 FTP version 1.0 ready at Thu Jan 1 00:02:09 1970 User (202.132.155.97:(none)): <Enter> 331 Enter PASS command Password:**** 230 Logged in ftp> bin 200 Type I OK ftp> put p314.bin ras 200 Port command okay 150 Opening data connection for STOR ras 226 File received OK ftp: 924512 bytes sent in 4.83Seconds 191.41Kbytes/sec. ftp>`

Here, the 'p314.bin' is the local file and 'ras' is the remote file that will be saved in the ZyAIR.

The ZyAIR reboots automatically after the uploading is finished.

2. Using FTP client software

Step 1 | Rename the local firmware and configuration files to 'ras' and 'rom-0', because we can not specify the remote file name in the FTP client software.
Step 2 | Use FTP client from your workstation to connect to the ZyAIR by entering the IP address of the ZyAIR.
Step 3 | Enter the SMT password as the FTP login password. The default is '1234'.
Step 4 | Press 'OK' key to ignore the username, because the ZyAIR does not check the username.

Example:

1. Connect to the ZyAIR by entering the ZyAIR's IP and SMT password in the FTP software. Set the transfer type to 'Auto-Detect' or 'Binary'.

2. Press 'OK' to ignore the 'Username' prompt.

3. To upload the firmware file, we transfer the local 'ras' file to overwrite the remote 'ras' file.
To upload the configuration file, we transfer the local 'rom-0' to overwrite the remote 'rom-0' file.

4.The ZyAIR reboots automatically after the uploading is finished.
