24.8 Command Line FTP

This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the switch using
FTP commands. First, understand the filename conventions.

24.8.1 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (often called the romfile or rom-0) contains the factory default settings
in the screens such as password, switch setup, IP setup, etc. Once you have customized the
switch's settings, they can be saved back to your computer under a filename of your choosing.

"

A configuration file that you save from your switch to your computer does not
include the password, the error log or the trace log.

"

Restoring a backup configuration file from your computer to your switch, does
not change the password, the error log or the trace log.
