Transferring a File from the Router

The Get File(s) option from the TFTP menu allows you to transfer one or more

ﬁles from the router to the Site Manager workstation. You can retrieve ﬁles from

only one router at a time.

To transfer ﬁles from the router to the Site Manager workstation:

1. In the Router Files Manager window, connect to the router.

Refer to Chapter 1 for instructions.

2. Choose Tools > Router Files Manager.

The Router Files Manager window opens (refer to Figure

5-1).

3. Select the router volume from which you need to transfer a ﬁle.

4. Select the ﬁles you want to transfer from the router.

5. Choose File > TFTP > Get File(s).

The TFTP Get Files window opens (Figure

5-8).

Note: To transfer ﬁles to or from a router that uses a diskette-based ﬁle

system, you must set the TFTP Retry Time Out parameter to 10 seconds. If

you do not adjust this parameter, duplicate transfer sessions may occur. This,

in turn, may result in zero-length or locked ﬁles on the diskette. (For more

information about how to set the TFTP Retry Time Out parameter, refer to

Conﬁguring IP Utilities.)
