FTP Server
Path: Administration > Network > FTP Server
The FTP server settings enable (by default) or disable access to the FTP server and specify the TCP/IP
port (21 by default) that the FTP server uses to communicate with the InRow RD. The FTP server uses
both the specified port and the port one number lower than the specified port.
You can change the Port setting to the number of any unused port from 5001 to 32768 for added
security. Users must then use a colon (:) to specify the non-default port number. For example, for port
5001 and IP address 152.214.12.114, the command would be
ftp 152.214.12.114:5001.
Note: FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, disable the FTP server, and
transfer files with Secure CoPy (SCP). Selecting and configuring Secure SHell (SSH) enables
SCP automatically.
At any time that you want a UPS to be accessible for management by InfraStruXure Central,
FTP Server must be enabled in the InRow RD interface.
For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your system, see the
Security Handbook, available on the APC InRow RD Utility CD or from the APC Web site.
