Table 4-14. Telnet and FTP Session Options (3 of 3)

FTP Session
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Determines whether the system responds as a server when an FTP (file transfer
protocol) client on an interconnected IP network requests an FTP session. This option
must be enabled when downloading files.
Enable – Allows an FTP session between the system and an FTP client.
Disable – Does not allow FTP sessions.
FTP Login Required
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Specifies whether a login ID and password are required for an FTP session. If required,
the login used is the same login used for a menu-driven user interface session. This
option does not affect the TS Access Management Link.
Enable – User is prompted for a login ID and password.
Disable – No login is required for an FTP session.
FTP Max Transfer Rate (Kbps)
Possible Settings: 1 – 2320
Default Setting: 2320
Sets the maximum receive rate of file transfer to the system via management PVCs.
This option allows new software and configuration files to be downloaded using selected
bandwidth without interfering with normal operation. Using this option, new software and
configuration files can be downloaded quickly using the default settings, or at a slower
rate over an extended period of time by selecting a slower speed. Based upon TCP flow
control, the FTP server in the system throttles bandwidth to match this setting.
1 – 2320 – Sets the download line speed from 1 kilobits per second to the maximum
management speed.
