Configuring Authentication and Authorization on the FTP Server

To allow an FTP user to access certain directories on the FTP server, you need to create an account for
the user, authorizing access to the directories and associating the username and password with the
account.
The following configuration is used when the FTP server authenticates and authorizes a local FTP user.
If the FTP server needs to authenticate a remote FTP user, you need to configure authentication,
authorization and accounting (AAA) policy instead of the local user. For detailed configuration, refer to
AAA Configuration in the Security Volume.
Follow these steps to configure authentication and authorization for FTP server:
