Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP
FTP allows a user to log on to a remote host and to manipulate files on the host. The print server
can act as an FTP host. Using FTP, you can access and modify the CONFIG file in the print server.
Modifying the CONFIG file changes the configuration of the print server.
The limitations of print server support when using FTP are:
• Only one FTP user can connect to the print server at a time.
• Only command line FTP programs can be used. FTP programs that attempt to browse the file
system are not supported.
Configuration Example
This section provides commands to use and responses to each command when you use FTP to
connect to the print server.
Example instructions are:
Connect to the print server by entering the command:
