between the software and the configuration file.

Using FTP

Two approaches are available for the backup of configuration files using FTP:

■

Router acts as FTP Server, from which you can download configuration files 
to your PC (FTP Client).

Perform the following configuration after the router starts:

[3Com] local-user 3Com password simple 3Com

[3Com] local-user 3Com service-type ftp ftp-directory 

 

Create an FTP connection between the PC and the router, and back up the 
configuration files:

C:\>ftp x.x.x.x

When loading configuration files using FTP, you need to use the get 
RemoteFile [LocalFile] command to upload the specified files onto the 
router, where the name of RemoteFile must be exactly the same as that of 
the configuration file (config.cfg) on the router.

<ftp> get remotefile [localfile]

200 Port command okay.

150 Server okay , now transmit file .

226 file transmit success.

ftp: 735 bytes received in 0.06Seconds 12.25Kbytes/sec.

The 

 file is the configuration file of the router (config.cfg).

Router is acts as FTP Client, where you can upload the configuration files to 
your PC (FTP Server).
