The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more file-centric commands comprises at least one of a request to compress a block of data and a request to compress one or more files stored in a file system of the IED. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of processing the one or more file-centric commands comprises at least one of compressing the block of data and compressing the one or more files stored in the file system of the IED. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein compressing the block of data and compressing the one or more files stored in the file system of the IED optimizes the transfer of data from the IED to the external device. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of processing the one or more file-centric commands comprises at least one of transferring the one or more files from the IED to the external device, providing the information pertaining to the one or more files stored in the file system of the IED from the IED to the external device, and performing the file system operation on the one or more files stored in the file system of the IED. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the file system operation comprises at least one of: (a) appending to a file, (b) creating a directory, (c) creating a file, (d) writing data to a file, (e) overwriting a file (f) user security status, (g) sending a username, (h) sending a password, (i) logging off, (j) changing a directory, (k) retrieving a current directory, (l) listing directory contents, (m) deleting a file/directory, (n) renaming a file/directory from, (o) renaming a file/directory to, (p) retrieving file details, (q) closing a file, (r) performing a firmware update, (s) retrieving firmware update status, and (t) retrieving firmware information. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to a request to transfer one or more files from the IED to the external device, the step of processing the one or more file-centric commands further comprises limiting a data transfer packet size to match a native packet data transfer size of a network transfer protocol to thereby optimize the transfer of the one or more files from the IED to the external device. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the network transfer protocol is the Ethernet protocol. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more interpreted commands are encryption commands. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more interpreted commands are compression commands. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of extending the non-file-centric command set further comprises: embedding the one or more file-centric commands in a file to be transmitted from the external device to the IED;parsing the file at the IED to extract the one or more embedded commands; andexecuting the one or more extracted, embedded commands by the IED. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the non-file-centric protocol is the Modbus protocol. 13. A system comprising: an intelligent electronic device (IED) coupled to an electrical distribution system for sensing power distributed to a load, the IED comprising a network interface, a processor, and a file system, wherein the IED is configured to operate under a non-file-centric protocol;an external device configured to operate under a file-centric protocol; anda network enabling the external device to communicate with the IED via the network interface;wherein the external device is configured to submit a file-centric command supported by the file-centric protocol to the IED;wherein the processor of the IED is configured to receive the file-centric command and process the file-centric command according to the non-file-centric protocol to thereby extend the non-file-centric protocol to support the file-centric protocol in the IED;wherein the processor of the IED extends a non-file-centric command set of the non-file-centric protocol to include one or more file-centric commands by embedding the one or more file-centric commands of the one or more file-centric protocol as one or more parameters in the IED, wherein the one or more parameters are embedded in a path and file name of the one or more file-centric commands, wherein the one or more file-centric commands comprise at least one of a request to transfer one or more files stored in a file system of the IED from the IED to the external device, a request to obtain information pertaining to the one or more files stored in the file system of the IED, and a request to perform a file system operation on the one or more files stored in the file system of the IED; andwherein the processor of the IED interprets the one or more file-centric commands in the IED as a non-file-centric command to perform an operation by the IED. 14.
