# Specify newest.bin as the main system software image file for the next startup.
IMPORTANT:
The system software image file used for the next startup must be saved in the root directory of the storage
medium. If the storage medium is partitioned, the system software image file must be saved in the first
partition. You can copy or move a file to the root directory. For more information about the boot-loader
command, see
System Management Command Reference.
# Reboot LB, and the system software image file is updated at the system reboot.
Using the device as an FTP server
If the device is operating as an FTP server, make sure the following requirements are met to ensure
successful FTP operations:
•
The device and the FTP server can reach each other.
•
Configure a user account (including the username, password, and authorization) on the device or
a remote authentication server for an FTP user. This task is required because the device does not
support anonymous FTP for security reasons. By default, authenticated users can access the root
directory of the device.
•
The FTP user provides the correct username and password.
NOTE:
When you use the Internet Explorer browser to log in to the device operating as an FTP server, some FTP
functions are not available. This is because multiple connections are required during the login process but
the device supports only one connection at a time.
Configuring basic parameters
The FTP server uses one of the following modes to update a file when you upload the file (use the put
command) to the FTP server:
•
Fast mode—The FTP server starts writing data to the storage medium after a file is transferred to the
memory. This prevents the existing file on the FTP server from being corrupted if an anomaly, such
as a power failure, occurs during a file transfer.
