Parameters such as the FTP connection timeout time
PC (FTP client)
Use the FTP client program to log
in to the FTP server.
You can log in to the FTP server only after you input the
correct FTP username and password.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the FTP server and the FTP client can reach each other before establishing the FTP
connection.
• When you use IE to log in to the LB module serving as the FTP server, some FTP functions are not
available. This is because multiple connections are established during the login process but the LB
module supports only one connection at a time.
Configuring the FTP client
NOTE:
Only users with the manage level can use the ftp command to lo
g
in to an FTP server, enter FTP client view,
and execute directory and file related commands. However, whether the commands can be executed
successfully depends on the authorizations of the FTP server.
Establishing an FTP connection
Before you can access the FTP server, you must establish a connection from the FTP client to the FTP server.
You can either use the ftp command to establish the connection directly or use the open command in FTP
client view to establish the connection.
When using the ftp or ftp client source command, you can specify the source interface (such as a
loopback interface) or source IP address. The primary IP address of the specified source interface or the
specified source IP address is used as the source IP address of sent FTP packets.
