Parameter
fast: Fast update.
normal: Normal update.
Description
Use the ftp update command to set the file update mode that the FTP server uses
while receiving data.
Use the undo ftp update command to restore the default, or fast mode.
The FTP server can update files you FTP to it in either of the following modes:
z In fast mode, the FTP server starts writing data to the Flash memory after file
transfer completes. This protects the existing files on the router from being ruined
in the event that anomalies, power failure for example, occur during a file transfer.
z In normal mode, the FTP server writes data to the Flash memory during file
transfer. This means that any anomaly, power failure for example, during file
transfer might result in corruption of the files on the router. This mode, however
consumes less memory than the fast mode.
Example
# Set the FTP update mode to normal.
[Router] ftp update normal
