by file transfer they would mean Firmware upgrade not a general "file
transfer" from LAN to WAN.

Pretty much everything that has upgradeable firmware gives the same warning.

Firmware is like the operating system - if you only dump half of it to
the EEPROM (Firmware) how will the router know what instructions to
follow on power-up.
