FLASH Directory
Administration – File Management > FLASH Directory
This page displays the contents of the router’s flash file system.
The unit has its own FLASH memory fling system that uses DOS-like filenames of up to 12
characters long (8 characters followed by the “.” separator and a 3-character extension).
The filing system is used to store the system software, Web pages, configuration
information and statistics in a single root directory.
Sub-directories are not supported and a maximum of 80 - 300 files (depending on the
product) can be stored (including system files), providing there is sufficient memory
remaining. New files can be uploaded into the unit from a local terminal or from a remote
system over the WAN connection. Existing files can be renamed or deleted using DOS-like
commands.
Although the filing system will only store a limited number of files, all those associated with
the built-in Web interface are stored in a single file with the .WEB extension and extracted
as required.
The Administration - File Management > FLASH Directory web page displays a listing of files
held on the FLASH file system. These files appear as hyperlinks which can be downloaded
and displayed in the web browser as long an appropriate viewer is installed and a file
association with the viewer has been made.
The directory listing of files on the FLASH directory also shows the file size, the access of rw
(read write) or ro (read only) and the date the file was last modified.
Below the file list is a summary of the FLASH file system, this includes the number of files,
FLASH free and FLASH used.
