How to extract music on hold from Mitel 3300.

I put a music file on the Mitel a couple of years ago. Now I need to put it on another Mitel and of course I lost the original file.

ftp mitel-ip

cd "/db"
cd "eMOH"
ls

The file name does not match the name in the GUI.

   Source           Destination              Packets               Bytes
 10.201.195.4    71.225.81.54                   400              187200
 10.194.41.94    63.251.34.130                  488               28733

Please do not reply to this message; it was sent from an unmonitored email address.

Why do businesses send "do not reply" emails? This is so annoying. My Twitter account was hacked. It sure would be nice if I could let them know I did not change the email address.
