34.5.6 TFTP Upload Command Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host put firmware.bin ras
Where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files),
“host” is the ZyXEL Device’s IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the computer
(firmware.bin – name of the firmware on the computer) to the file destination on the remote
host (ras - name of the firmware on the ZyXEL Device).
Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

34.5.7 Uploading Via Console Port
FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your ZyXEL Device.
However, in the event of your network being down, uploading files is only possible with a
direct connection to your ZyXEL Device via the console port. Uploading files via the console
port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial
communications program should work fine; however, you must use the Xmodem protocol to
perform the download/upload.
