The most simplest of answers have already been provided. Perhaps you need to do a bit more work yourself now. If you don't have root access to the device, then you shouldn't be copying the configs -- if you do have root access, this shouldn't be difficult to achieve what you need using basic GNU tools provided as part of most distributions, including Debian. A Debian Live CD/DVD/USB might be useful if you don't have the root password and you are able to boot from other media.
