Operating the files on the FTP server
After the LB module serving as the FTP client has established a connection with an FTP server, you can
upload a file to or download a file from the FTP server under the authorized directory of the FTP server
by following these steps. For more information about establishing an FTP connection, see “Establishing
an FT
P connection.”
1. Use the dir or ls command to display the directory and the location of the file on the FTP server.
2. Delete useless files for effective use of the storage space.
3. Set the file transfer mode. FTP transmits files in two modes: ASCII and binary. ASCII mode transfers
files as text. Binary mode transfers files as raw data.

file under this directory, or save the downloaded file under this directory.
