Upload/Download requests.

The FTP server supports upload/download of two configuration files: CONFIG.BIN and
NETWORK.INI. These files can be uploaded or downloaded using FTP PUT and GET operations.
 CONFIG.BIN This file contains the entire configuration of the PT22 excluding
TCP/IP
settings, serial/factory-only configurations, the x.509 certificate (SSL) and
SSH keys. This file in encoded to keep all data (including usernames,
passwords etc.) out of plain view. This file is NOT editable.
 FTP.INI This file contains only
the FTP settings (FTP Host, username, password,
filepath, filename and automatic updates support). This file is user
readable and editable ‘plain text’ file.
 NETWORK.INI This file contains only
the TCP/IP settings (IP address, subnet mask,
gateway, DNS1 and DNS2). This file is user readable and editable ‘plain
text’ file.
 SNTP.INI This file contains only
the SNTP settings (SNTP Hosts and GMT offset).
This file is user readable and editable ‘plain text’ file.
NOTE: The CONFIG.BIN file while encoded is not encrypted and susceptible to decoding using simple tools.
Server Technology recommends the secure storage of CONFIG.BIN backup images.
