USER’S GUIDE AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
76
FTP server
Use the Access setting to enable or disable the FTP server. The server is
enabled by default.
Use the Port setting to identify the TCP/IP port that the FTP server uses for
communications with the Automatic Transfer Switch. The default Port
setting is
21.
You can change the Port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 to
enhance the protection provided by User Name and Password settings. You
must then use a colon (:) in the command line to specify the non-default port.
For example, for a port number of 5000 and the Automatic Transfer Switch IP
address of 152.166.12.113, you would use this command:
ftp 152.166.12.113:5000
FTP transfers files without using encryption. For higher security,
use SCP for file transfers. When you select and configure SSH,
SCP is enabled automatically.
See Telnet/SSH to configure SSH. If you decide to use SCP
for file transfer, be sure to disable the FTP server
To access a text version of the Automatic Transfer Switch’s
event or data log, see How to use FTP or SCP to retrieve log
files.
To use FTP to download configuration files:
• See File Transfer (control console only) if the files are on
an FTP server of your company or agency.
• See Firmware file transfer methods if you are
downloading files from the APC Web site.
