17.3.6 GUI-based TFTP Clients

The following table describes some of the fields that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients.

Refer to

Section 17.3.3 on page 251

to read about configurations that disallow FTP over

WAN.

17.4 Restore Configuration

This section shows you how to restore a previously saved configuration. Note that this
function erases the current configuration before restoring a previous back up configuration;
please do not attempt to restore unless you have a backup configuration file stored on disk.

FTP is the preferred method for restoring your current computer configuration to your
ZyWALL since FTP is faster. Please note that you must wait for the system to automatically
restart after the file transfer is complete.

Note: WARNING! Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may

PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR ZyWALL. When the Restore Configuration
process is complete, the ZyWALL will automatically restart.

17.4.1 Restore Using FTP

For details about backup using (T)FTP please refer to earlier sections on FTP and TFTP file
upload in this chapter.

1 Launch the FTP client on your computer.

2 Enter “open”, followed by a space and the IP address of your ZyWALL.

3 Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.
