How do you save configuration?

RouterOS General

Hi all just got my mikrotik firewall. Using winbox to configure it by an ethernet cable.
I changed time but when I reboot it, it resets itself to 1970!

How can I make it keep the setting?

Configure yours NTP Client,

There’s no battery so it won’t save time. Use NTP.

Ok thanks.

Also how do I make it save changes I do in its config? Or it does save automatically without having the need to copy the config to flash (like cisco ios)?

Final query - how do I enable ftp so that I retrieve configs from it?

cheers :smiley:

You not need to save config. Config saves automaticali when you click OK in winbox or press enter in terminal.

FTP is enabled by default.
In terminal you type: export file=something
And get it by ftp or drag & drop from winbox-files.

config will save automatically
unless u talk about backup is should do manual


about ftp
ip service> enable ftp
