■
A switch can operate as an FTP client, through which you can access files on FTP
servers. In this case, you need to establish a connection between your PC and the
switch through a terminal emulation program or Telnet and then execute the ftp
X.X.X.X command on your PC (X.X.X.X is the IP address of an FTP server).
Table 638 describes the configurations needed when a switch operates as an FTP
client.
