Maintaining the router when it serves as the server
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite. It mainly transfers files
among remote hosts. Carried over TCP, it provides reliable and connection-oriented data transfer
service but does not provide access authorization and authentication mechanism.
The FTP service provided by the router is FTP Server, that is to say, the router serves as the FTP Server.
You can run FTP Client to log onto the router and access files on the router.
Install FTP Client before using FTP. No FTP Server is available with the MSR 50 series. You must install
one yourself. Take the FTP Client with Windows XP for example.

connection is successful.
