Using FTP to Upload the Firmware and Configuration Files

In addition to upload the firmware and configuration file via the console port and TFTP client, you can also upload the firmware and configuration files to the P-335 Plus using FTP.

To use this feature, your workstation must have a FTP client software. There are two examples as shown below.

1. Using FTP command in terminal
2. Using FTP client software

1. Using FTP command in terminal

Step 1 | Use FTP client from your workstation to connect to the P-335 Plus by entering the IP address of the P-335 Plus.
Step 2 | Press 'Enter' key to ignore the username, because the P-335 Plus does not check the username.
Step 3 | Enter the console mode password as the FTP login password, the default is '1234'.
Step 4 | Enter command 'bin' to set the transfer type to binary.
Step 5 | Use 'put' command to transfer the file to the P-335 Plus.

Note: The remote file name for the firmware is 'ras' and for the configuration file is 'rom-0' (rom-zero, not capital o).

Example:

`C:\temp>`ftp 202.132.155.97 `Connected to 202.132.155.97.` `220 FTP version 1.0 ready at Thu Jan 1 00:02:09 1970` `User (202.132.155.97:(none)):` <Enter> `331 Enter PASS command` `Password:`**** `230 Logged in` `ftp>` bin `200 Type I OK` `ftp>` put p312.bin ras `200 Port command okay` `150 Opening data connection for STOR ras` `226 File received OK` `ftp: 924512 bytes sent in 4.83Seconds 191.41Kbytes/sec.` `ftp>`

Here, the 'p312.bin' is the local file and 'ras' is the remote file that will be saved in the P-335 Plus.

The P-335 Plus reboots automatically after the uploading is finished.

2. Using FTP client software

Step 1 | Rename the local firmware and configuration files to 'ras' and 'rom-0', because we can not specify the remote file name in the FTP client software.
Step 2 | Use FTP client from your workstation to connect to the P-335 Plus by entering the IP address of the P-335 Plus.
Step 3 | Enter the console mode password as the FTP login password. The default is '1234'.
Step 4 | Press 'OK' key to ignore the username, because the P-335 Plus does not check the username.

Example:

1. Connect to the P-335 Plus by entering the P-335 Plus's IP and console mode password in the FTP software. Set the transfer type to 'Auto-Detect' or 'Binary'.

2. Press 'OK' to ignore the 'Username' prompt.

3. To upload the firmware file, we transfer the local 'ras' file to overwrite the remote 'ras' file.
To upload the configuration file, we transfer the local 'rom-0' to overwrite the remote 'rom-0' file.

4.The P-335 Plus reboots automatically after the uploading is finished.
