Using Ftp; Using Ftp To Log Into The Switch - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6624 Management Manual

Logging Into the Switch

Using FTP

The OmniSwitch can function as an FTP server. Any standard FTP client may be used.
Note. An FTP connection is not secure. Secure Shell is recommended instead of FTP or Telnet as a secure
method of accessing the switch.

Using FTP to Log Into the Switch

You can access the OmniSwitch with a standard FTP application. To login to the switch, start your FTP
client. Where the FTP client asks for "Name", enter the IP address of your switch. Where the FTP client
asks for "User ID", enter the username of your login account on the switch. Where the FTP client asks for
"Password", enter your switch password.
Note. If you are using Authenticated Switch Access (ASA), the port interface must be authenticated for
FTP use and the username profile must have permission to use FTP. Otherwise the switch will not accept
an FTP login. For information about ASA, refer to
Note. You must use the binary mode (bin) to transfer image files via FTP.
