FTP/SCP overview

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to
another over a TCP computer network. During installation, a built-in FTP server and its services are
installed. Other FTP servers on your system are recognized by the application as external FTP
servers.
For Windows systems, the built-in FTP server is the default configuration and installation starts the
FTP service if port 21 is not used by any other FTP server. For UNIX systems, built-in FTP is the
default for UNIX systems during installation; the external FTP server is the default only if port 21 is
busy.
Note that when uninstalling the application the built-in FTP server is removed with all other services
even if the FTP service is used by firmware upgrade or supportSave features.
Secure Copy (SCP) is a means of securely transferring computer files between a local and a remote
host or between two remote hosts, using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. You must configure SCP
on your machine to support Technical Support and firmware download.
