Working With The Files On The Ftp Server; Switching To Another User Account - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Working with the files on the FTP server

After you log in to the server, you can upload a file to or download a file from the authorized directory
by following these steps:
1. Use the dir or ls command to display the directory and the location of the file on the FTP server.
2. Delete unused files to get more free storage space.
3. Set the file transfer mode. FTP transmits files in two modes: ASCII and binary. Use ASCII mode to
transfer text files. Use binary mode to transfer image files.
4. Use the lcd command to display the local working directory of the FTP client. You can upload the
file or save the downloaded file in this directory.
5. Upload or download the file.
