Where to find uploaded config file

How can I find the config file I uploaded with command:

execute upload config ftp <filename_str> <comment> <server_ipv4[:port_int] | server_fqdn[:port_int]> [<username_str> [<password_str>]] [<backup_password_str>]

described in this page.

Is there any command or other way can I see the configuration file I've uploaded?

Thank you!

hi,

 

and welcome to the forums!

 

You should be able to see the config version using the GUI: System>Dashboard, System Information, System Configuration, Revisions. That is for FortiOS v5 and newer.

Your post was perfectly clear: if you upload a revision, it is displayed at the top of the list of configurations. I just tested this on a FG-80C running v5.2.3. You are prompted to enter a comment which can help identify the config as the timestamp is the time of uploading, not the file's last written time.

OK, I did something more than just uploading: I returned to the Dashboard and clicked 'Revisions' again, to refresh the display.

OK, I've tested upload by HTTPS, FTP and TFTP, no problems.

You'll probably know it, you can check the list of local revisions in the CLI with

 exec revision list config
.

Dear ede pfau:

        I'm afraid you misunderstood my question...

        Since I used the command "upload" instead of "restore", I see nothing in System>Dashboard, System Information, System Configuration, Revisions.

        And my OS version is v5.2.2,build642 (GA).

        Thank you very  much!

Sorry, my fault.

It turns out that I got no disk in my fortigate, which makes the list empty after I reboot  it.

You was right, I did what you said again and I saw them. However, thank you very much!

Well, ALL Fortigates do have an internal Flash disk (CF, to be precise) on which the firmware image and the config revisions are stored. They do not need a harddisk for that. Just imagine the firmware was stored in a RAM disk and then after reboot...

I do know for sure that with a FG-80C without internal harddisk (but CF flash) revisions survive a reboot.

 

So, I wonder what is different with your FGT.
