For the details of this command, refer to
The FTP server uses two modes to update files when you upload files (use the put
command) to the FTP server:
In fast mode, the FTP server starts writing data to the Cf after file transfer
■
completes. This protects the files intended to be overwritten on the device from
being corrupted in the event that anomalies, power failure for example, occur
during a file transfer.
In normal mode, the FTP server writes data to the Cf during file transfer. This
■
means that any anomaly, power failure for example, during file transfer might
result in file corruption on the router. This mode, however, consumes less
memory space than the fast mode.
Follow these steps to configure the FTP server:
To do...
Enter system view

idle-timeout timer
