FTP Configuration 809
Configuration Example:
A Switch Operating as
an FTP Client
Network requirements
A switch operates as an FTP client and a remote PC as an FTP server.
■ Create a user account on the FTP server with the user name “switch” and
password “hello”, and authorize the user “switch” with read and write
permissions on the directory named “switch” on the PC.
■ 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. Download it to the
switch through FTP to upgrade the switch application, and upload the switch
configuration file named config.cfg to the PC to backup the configuration file.
