2.6.1.3 Other Access Methods
If you wish to access the NetScaler command line interface via telnet or you
require FTP access to the system, you must enable these protocols as they are
disabled by default for security reasons. To enable these protocols, follow
these steps.
1. Log into the system through the serial console as the nsroot user.
2. Run the ‘shell’ command. The system prompt will change from ‘>’ to
‘#’ indicating that you are now running in the system shell.
3. Copy the /etc/inetd.conf file to /nsconfig/inetd.conf.
> cp /etc/inetd.conf /nsconfig/inetd.conf
4. Open the /nsconfig/inetd.conf file and uncomment the ‘#’ symbol at the
beginning of the configuration line for the protocol you wish to enable. Then
save the file.
5. Reboot the NetScaler system to activate the change with the ‘reboot ns’
command.
