1.1.5 Configuration Example: A Switch Operating as an FTP Client

I. Network requirements
A switch operates as an FTP client and a remote PC as an FTP server.
Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name "switch" and
password "hello", and authorize the user "switch" with read and write permissions
on the directory named "Switch" on the PC.
Configure the IP address 1.1.1.1 for a VLAN interface on the switch, and 2.2.2.2
for the PC. Ensure the route between the two is reachable.
The switch application named switch.bin is stored on the PC. Download it to the switch
through FTP to upgrade the switch application, and upload the switch configuration file
named vrpcfg.cfg to the PC to backup the configuration file.
