FTP Configuration

FTP Overview
FTP&TFTP C
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a universal method for transmitting files on the
Internet and IP networks. In this method, files are copied from one system to
another. FTP supports definite file types (such as ASCII and Binary) and file
structures (byte stream and record). Even now, FTP is still used widely, while most
users transmit files by Email and Web.
FTP, a TCP/IP protocol on the application layer, is used for transmitting files
between a remote server and a local host.
The switch provides the following FTP services:
FTP server: You can run FTP client program to log in the server and access the
■
files on it.
FTP client: You can run the ftp X.X.X.X command (where, X.X.X.X represents
■
the IP address of the remote FTP server) to set up a connection between the
switch and a remote FTP server to access the files on the remote server.
