Configuring the FTP server

Configuring FTP server operating parameters

The FTP server uses one of the following modes to update a file when you upload the file (use put) to the FTP
server:
Fast mode—The FTP server starts writing data to the storage medium after a file is transferred to the
•
memory. This prevents the existing file on the FTP server from being corrupted in the event that anomaly,
power failure for example, occurs during a file transfer.
Normal mode—The FTP server writes data to the storage medium while receiving data. This means that
•
any anomaly, power failure for example, during file transfer might result in file corruption on the FTP
server. This mode, however, consumes less memory space than the fast mode.
