748 CHAPTER 70: FTP AND TFTP CONFIGURATION
Configuration Example:
A Switch Operating as
an FTP Server
Network requirements
A switch operates as an FTP server and a remote PC as an FTP client.
■ Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name "switch" and
password "hello". The work directory assigned for FTP clients is the root
directory of the flash.
■ Configure the IP address 1.1.1.1 for a VLAN interface on the switch, and
2.2.2.2 for the PC. Ensure the route between the two is reachable.
The switch application named switch.app is stored on the PC. Upload it to the FTP
server through FTP to upgrade the application of the switch, and download the
switch configuration file named vrpcfg.cfg from the switch to backup the
configuration file.
