Configuring the FTP Client Mode

The ASA can use FTP to upload or download image files or configuration files to or from an FTP server.
In passive FTP, the client initiates both the control connection and the data connection. The server, which
is the recipient of the data connection in passive mode, responds with the port number to which it is
listening for the specific connection.
To configure the FTP client to be in passive mode, perform the following steps:
Step1 From the Configuration > Device Management > Management Access > File Access > FTP Client pane,
check the Specify FTP mode as passive check box.
Step2 Click Apply.
Model License Requirement
All models Base License.
