Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run the get command to download files from the FTP server to upgrade devices.

Precautions

If local-filename is not specified on the local device, the original file name is used.
If the name of the downloaded file is the same as that of an existing local file, the system prompts you whether to overwrite the existing file.

The file system has a restriction on the number of files in the root directory. Therefore, if more than 50 files exist in the root directory, creating new files in this directory may fail.
