FTP over WAN will not work if you have applied a filter in menu 11.5 (WAN) to block Telnet service.  

The Prestige 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: 

Step 1.  Use telnet from your computer to connect to the Prestige and log in. Because TFTP does not 

have any security checks, the Prestige records the IP address of the telnet client and accepts 
TFTP requests only from this address. 

Step 2.  Put the SMT in command interpreter (CI) mode by entering 8 in Menu 24 – System 

Maintenance.
