You also may download your gui file there or in a subfolder.
To replace the start webpage of the master, put a index.html here, the original pages will not be lost.
You can go up a directory using the directory command /../ to get at the system files PROG.zip, vxWorks, etc but you really don't want to be in there for want you're doing.
I get a 500 denied trying to up dir, I want to look at the vxWorks image, do you have a list of the files hidden below initial ftp directory? PROG.TKN, etc
file:PROG.ZIP
file:PROG.TKN
file:vxWorks
folder:user
folder:tmp
folder:ipsec
folder:certs
folder:LIB
folder:CLKMGR_DIR
file:regfile.reg
folder:unbound
folder:bound
folder:bundle
I'm pretty sure my code prepends the file and folder designations.
Thanks,

I don't think a snippet of my code would help much so here's a little bit more. I wrote this code 2006 and it's kind of scary to look at even for me but if you can do something with it then knock yourself out. This doesn't have any FTP stuff in it (I don't think, should be another file) but you could just use the file commands to "copy" the vxWorks file to your user directory and then use a FTP utility from there. Be careful though cuz I killed a master once transferrring the vxWork file from and then back to my master using my FTP code. I don't think it was a binary FTP transfer, oops. What did I know.
Also, couldn't you just pull the CF card and put it in a reader and save a ton of time?
