25.7.3 Configuration Backup Using GUI-based FTP Clients

The following table describes some of the commands that you may see in GUI-based FTP
clients.

25.7.4 Backup Configuration Using TFTP

The ZyXEL Device supports the up/downloading of the firmware and the configuration file
using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) over LAN. Although TFTP should work over
WAN as well, it is not recommended.

To use TFTP, your computer must have both telnet and TFTP clients. To backup the
configuration file, follow the procedure shown next.

1 Use telnet from your computer to connect to the ZyXEL Device and log in. Because

TFTP does not have any security checks, the ZyXEL Device records the IP address of the
telnet client and accepts TFTP requests only from this address.

2 Enter command “

sys stdio 0

” to disable the management idle timeout, so the TFTP

transfer will not be interrupted. Enter command “

sys stdio 5”

to restore the five-

minute management idle timeout (default) when the file transfer is complete.
