Filestore definition and file save commands

A filestore is a remote (off-box) location that you define for storing backup and configuration files. The filestore can be FTP, Samba, or TFTP. It allows you to either load files onto the server (upgrades, hotfixes, or routes) or save files from the server to be edited/viewed outside the appliance (logs or routes).
