Administration | File Management | File Upload
This screen lets you use HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to transfer a configuration file from your
PC—or a system accessible from your PC—to the VPN Concentrator Flash memory.
This function provides special handling for configuration (config) files. If the uploaded file has the VPN
Concentrator filename config, the system deletes any existing config.bak file, renames the existing
config file as config.bak, then writes the new config file. However, these actions occur only if the file
transfer is successful, so existing files are not corrupted.
To use these functions, you must have Access Rights to Read/Write Files. See the Administration |
Access Rights | Administrators | Modify Properties screen.
Be sure there is sufficient space in Flash memory for the new file. You can list, view, and manage VPN
Concentrator files, and check space available, on the Administration | File Management | Files
screen.

Enter the name for the file on the VPN Concentrator. This filename must conform to the 8.3 naming

Enter the name of the file on your PC. In a Windows environment, enter the complete pathname using
