1.2.3 Access via FTP

To access the SpeedTouch via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), in order to: Restore or back up configuration files, templates or language packs. Upgrade your configuration.

File system

The SpeedTouch file system is stored on non-volatile memory and contains the SpeedTouch software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.

To open an FTP session

Open a Command Prompt window. In Microsoft Windows XP for instance:
At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch (192.168.1.254 by default). Enter your SpeedTouch security user name and password. The default user is Administrator and the default password is blank. The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch file system.

File system structure

The structure of the file system is very simple: it consists of a single root directory called root and a subdirectory called dl (download). The root directory contains: all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch to start correctly the dl directory The dl directory contains the software image. If you made changes to the SpeedTouch configuration and saved them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl subdirectory.
File system access rights
In the different directories you have the following rights:

Directory

root dl

Access rights

NO read/write read/write

Common FTP commands

Depending on the access rights you have in a directory, you can use one of the following commands:

Use the command.

cd dir bin hash put
access another directory than the one currently open. Example: ftp>cd dl. list the directory files. Example: ftp>dir. set the transfer mode to binary. turn on the hashing option. upload files. Example: ftp>put C:/MyBackupFiles/user.ini. A configuration file must be uploaded to the dl directory.

To disable remote access
