Configuration Example: A Switch Functioning As An Ftp Server - H3C S7500 Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – FTP and TFTP
H3C S7500 Series Ethernet Switches
Note:
Only one user can access an S7500 switch at a time when the switch functions as
an FTP server.
FTP services are implemented in this way: An FTP client sends FTP requests to the
FTP server. The FTP server receives the requests, performs operations accordingly,
and returns the results to the FTP client.
To prevent unauthorized access, an FTP server disconnects itself from an FTP
client when it does not receive requests from the FTP client within a specific period
known as the connection idle time.
An S7500 switch functioning as an FTP server cannot receive a file whose size
exceeds its storage space. A client attempting to upload such a file will be
disconnected from the FTP server due to lack of storage space on the FTP server.
III. Authentication and authorization configuration
An FTP server authenticates an FTP client by the user name and the password it
provides. When an FTP client passes the authentication, the authorization is done by
allocating the FTP client a work directory. An FTP server provides services to the FTP
clients that are both authenticated and authorized successfully.
The configurations such as configuring a user name, password, the way to display
passwords, service type, are performed on FTP servers. Refer to the information about
the local-user, local-user password-display-mode, password, and service-type
commands in the "AAA&RADIUS&HWTACACS&EAD" part of this manual.
IV. Displaying and maintaining FTP server configuration
Display the information about FTP
server configurations on a switch
Display the current online FTP user
