Using FTP Directly: Upgrades of Firmware and Fonts (FFS files)

29. Using FTP Directly

29.1.

Upgrades of Firmware and Fonts (FFS files)

1

Download the firmware file from the Intermate web site.
As our example, let us take the main code for
Intermate100

, G22_2021.zip.

Note:

You will need a decompressing tool based on the
ZIP algorithm (for example WinZip

®

).

2

A single left click on the file name will bring up a File
Download dialog box asking whether you want to open the
file or save it.

When you open it (directly or after having saved it), you can
then extract G22_2021.ffs to an accessible place on your
PC or other host. This could, for example, be
C:\PrintServerUpdates.

3

Start an FTP session to your Intermate100.

ftp 192.168.0.227

4

Give the user name and password for the print server.

5

Change to the library containing the firmware component to
be upgraded. To fit our example, you would do this:

cd Maincode
(Case sensitive on G32- or G34-based units.

)

Important:

Be sure to select the correct library. Storing the wrong
type of file in the wrong place can cause the system to
lock.
On G32, this is not be a problem, because the new file
system will check headers and make sure that nothing
gets placed in the wrong library.

6

Select binary transfer mode.

binary

7

Download the file from your PC to the print server. The
syntax is:

put <source> <target>
