CHAPTER 45
File Manager
45.1 Overview
Configuration files define the ZyWALL/USG’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands that you
can store on the ZyWALL/USG and run when you need them. You can apply a configuration file or
run a shell script without the ZyWALL/USG restarting. You can store multiple configuration files and
shell script files on the ZyWALL/USG. You can edit configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor
and upload them to the ZyWALL/USG. Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use
a .zysh extension.
45.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the Configuration File screen (see Section 45.2 on page 898) to store and name
configuration files. You can also download configuration files from the ZyWALL/USG to your
computer and upload configuration files from your computer to the ZyWALL/USG.
•Use the Firmware Package screen (see Section 45.3 on page 902) to check your current
firmware version and upload firmware to the ZyWALL/USG.
•Use the Shell Script screen (see Section 45.4 on page 907) to store, name, download, upload
and run shell script files.
45.1.2 What you Need to Know
Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the ZyWALL/USG uses the factory default settings for any
features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell script, the ZyWALL/USG
only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not change.
