Build up FTP remote upload/download environment
1 Connect the PC to any port of the router through a WAN. This approach does not
require the IP addresses of the PC and the router to be on the same segment and
is used for upgrading the router remotely.
2 Copy the application files, Boot ROM program or configuration files to a directory,
which is assumed to be "C:\version".
Starting the FTP server
Perform the following configurations with the help of the maintenance personnel
at the router side:
1 Set authentication mode
You can select an AAA configuration scheme depending on the actual situation.
2 Add user name and password
[Router] local-user router password simple 123 service-type ftp
"Router" represents the user name and "123" the password.
3 Start FTP server.
[Router] ftp-server enable
With these operations, the FTP server has been started on the router and the
username has been set. In this case, all the FTP client programs can use the
username and password to log onto the FTP server.
1 Enter the directory containing the application file, Boot ROM program or
configuration files in the DOS state. Execute the ftp command to set up an FTP
connection with the router. For example:
C:\version\ftp 10.110.10.10
If the connection is set up, the following information will be displayed (taking
Windows98 as an example):
Connected to 10.110.10.10
220 FTP server ready on Router at
