your device from which you may restore at a later date.

Configuration 
screen.

45.8  FTP Command Line
This section shows some examples of uploading to or downloading files from the 
Switch using FTP commands. First, understand the filename conventions.
45.8.1  Filename Conventions 
The configuration file (also known as the romfile or ROM) contains the factory 
default settings in the screens such as password, Switch setup, IP Setup, and so 
on. Once you have customized the Switch’s settings, they can be saved back to 
your computer under a filename of your choosing.
