Move custom.json file to skins folder?

Mon Jul 13, 2020 5:36 pm

Hi, I am using webfig to manage this router. Hi, I have a custom.json file that I have uploaded to the router. How do I move this to the /skins folder? Drag and drop does not work in webfig or at least it does not for me.

I am really trying to just move the folder from the root to /skins. Can someone help me with the correct syntax from CLI? Thanks

Is this a poor question? Or not possible?

Try Winbox instead, Webfig lacks several other functions too

Thank you kindly for your reply.

I have a linux box on the other end so I cannot. I can explore wine.

So there is no command via terminal to do this?

Moving into folders can only be done in two ways. Winbox (can be used in Linux too, with Wine), or using Fetch to directly download the file into the correct folder.
Actually a third way is to download using Fetch from one folder to other folder, locally.

SCP and or FileZilla?

Yes, of course. I was only thinking about router GUI types.

Thank you for these three ideas.... it seems like local fetch is the simplest way to go in my case. Never done it but I will give it a shot.

Thank you for this. I will try the local fetch first. If I can't figure that out I will give this a shot.

Best

I am tying the following, but it is not working:

/tool> fetch address=192.168.88.1 src-path=/files/custom.json dst-path=/files/skins/custom.json

Sorry I am a fetch newbie. Can anyone help with the correct syntax?

Amend paths, etc as per your requirements
/tool fetch address=192.168.88.1 mode=ftp src-path=custom.json dst-path=skins/custom.json user=yourUSER password=yourPWD

Thank you sincerely - much karma to you. That was help I needed. I had to turn on the ftp service and create a temporary input filter rule for tcp 21 and it worked. I have not worked much with fetch..... as you can tell!

Many thanks again.
