• DSystem Administration > Configuration File > Save file to this appliance

• C

Explanation

Option B is correct because "ftp push" is a method for transferring or uploading a configuration file to a remote server - it is not a method for saving the configuration file itself on or from the appliance. FTP push sends data outbound to an external destination, making it a transfer mechanism rather than a save operation.

• A is wrong (it is valid): Downloading the file to your computer is a legitimate way to save a local backup copy of the configuration.
• C is wrong (it is valid): Emailing the configuration to a specified address saves an external copy you can retrieve later.
• D is wrong (it is valid): Saving the file directly to the appliance stores it locally on the device itself.

Memory tip: Think "save = store somewhere you can retrieve it later." Download, email, and save-to-appliance all store the file. FTP push sends it somewhere - and without a confirmed remote storage target under your control, it's a transfer action, not a save action.
