Launch the TFTP client on your computer and connect to the ZyWALL. Set the transfer
mode to binary before starting data transfer.

Use the TFTP client (see the example below) to transfer files between the ZyWALL and
the computer. The file name for the configuration file is “rom-0” (rom-zero, not capital
o).
Note that the telnet connection must be active and the SMT in CI mode before and during the
TFTP transfer. For details on TFTP commands (see following example), please consult the
documentation of your TFTP client program. For UNIX, use “get” to transfer from the
ZyWALL to the computer and “binary” to set binary transfer mode.
44.3.7 TFTP Command Example
The following is an example TFTP command:
tftp [-i] host get rom-0 config.rom
Where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files),
“host” is the ZyWALL IP address, “get” transfers the file source on the ZyWALL (rom-0,
name of the configuration file on the ZyWALL) to the file destination on the computer and
renames it config.rom.
