FTP Server
Path: Administration > Network > FTP Server
The FTP server settings enable (by default) or disable access to the FTP server and specify the TCP/IP
port (21 by default) that the FTP server uses to communicate with the PDU. The FTP server uses both
the specified port and the port one number lower than the specified port.
You can change the Port setting to the number of any unused port from 5001 to 32768 for added
security. Users must then use a colon (:) to specify the non-default port number. For example, for port
5001 and IP address 152.214.12.114, the command would be
ftp 152.214.12.114:5001.
Note: FTP transfers files without encryption. For higher security, disable the FTP server, and transfer
files with Secure CoPy (SCP). Selecting and configuring Secure SHell (SSH) enables SCP
automatically.
At any time that you want a PDU to be accessible for management by StruxureWare, FTP Server must be
enabled in the PDU interface.
For detailed information on enhancing and managing the security of your system, see the Security
Handbook, available on
