Hello

 

Question: How to upload FGT Firmware image to a Disk file (I am not talking about backup here) ? Something equivalent to the below Cisco procedure:

  router#copy flash: tftp:   Source filename[]? c1841-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T1.bin   Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.2   Destination filename [c1841-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T1.bin]? routerios Thank you

    Thank you Fullmoon for your reply, but I am talking about the other way around.

    I am not upgrading the OS image, I just want to store in on my PC

    I am not sure if that is possible, maybe someone with more experience will share, but why don't you just download it from the Fortinet portal?

    you could store the bare Firmwareimage where you want. You can tell the FGT Bootloader on cli to get it via tftp. Also you can put it onto some usb stick or disk and name it image.out (default - can be set individually on gui). With that you can simlly plug that stick or disk into one usb port of your FGT and then reboot the fgt and it will automagically grab the image from usb and install it.

     

    THat's the only ways I know...
