Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one Rack PDU
Instructions for using FTP. For you to be able to use FTP to upgrade a single
Switched Rack PDU over the network:
• The Switched Rack PDU must be connected to the network.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the Switched Rack PDU.
• The Switched Rack PDU must have its TCP/IP settings (System IP, Subnet Mask,
and Default Gateway addresses) configured.
To use FTP to upgrade the Rack PDU:
1. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window on a computer that is connected to the
network. Go to the directory that contains the firmware upgrade files, and list the
files. For the directory C:\apc, the commands would be those shown in bold:
C:\>cd\apc
C:\apc>dir
Files listed for a Switched Rack PDU, for example, might be the following:
– apc_hw02_aos_XXX.bin
– apc_hw02_app_XXX.bin
2. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
3. Type open and the Switched Rack PDU’s IP address, and press ENTER. If the Port
setting for FTP Server in the Network menu has changed from its default of 21, you
must use the non-default value in the FTP command.

b. For Windows FTP clients, separate the port number from the IP address by a

changed from its default of 21, such as to 21000, you would use the following
command for a Windows FTP client transferring a file to a Rack PDU with an IP
