P-202H Plus v2 User's Guide 29.2.4 GUI-based FTP Clients The following table describes some of the commands that you may see in GUI-based FTP clients. Table 92 General Commands for GUI-based FTP Clients COMMAND Host Address Login Type Transfer Type Initial Remote Directory Initial Local Directory DESCRIPTION Enter the address of the host server. Anonymous. This is when a user I.D. and password is automatically supplied to the server for anonymous access. Anonymous logins will work only if your ISP or service administrator has enabled this option. Normal. The server requires a unique User ID and Password to login. Transfer files in either ASCII (plain text format) or in binary mode. Configuration and firmware files should be transferred in binary mode. Specify the default remote directory (path). Specify the default local directory (path). 29.2.5 Remote Management Limitations TFTP, FTP and Telnet over WAN will not work when: • You have disabled that service in menu 24.11. • You have applied a filter in menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Telnet service. • The IP address in the Secured Client IP field in menu 24.11 does not match the client IP. If it does not match, the ZyXEL Device will disconnect the Telnet session immediately. • You have an SMT console session running. • There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time. • There is a firewall rule that blocks it. 29.2.6 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. 273 Chapter 29 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
