Configuration procedure

1)Configure the PC (FTP server)

Perform FTP server–related configurations on the PC, that is, create a user account on the FTP server with user name “switch” and password “hello”. (For detailed configuration, refer to the configuration instruction relevant to the FTP server software.)

2)Configure the switch (FTP client)

#Log in to the switching engine. (You can log in to the switching engine through the console port or by telnetting the switching engine. See the “Login” module for detailed information.)

If available space on the flash memory of the device is not enough to hold the file to be uploaded, you need to delete files not in use from the flash memory to make room for the file, and then upload the file again. The files in use cannot be deleted.

#Connect to the FTP server using the ftp command in user view. You need to provide the IP address of the FTP server, the user name and the password as well to enter FTP view.
