Configuring a Local FTP Server
If your organization’s users are on a private network that does not have access
to external sites, specifically ftp.dell.com, you can provide platform updates
from a locally-configured FTP server. The users in your organization can
access updates or drivers for their Dell server from the local FTP server
instead of ftp.dell.com. A local FTP server is not required for users who have
access to ftp.dell.com through a proxy server. Check ftp.dell.com frequently
to make sure your local FTP server has the most recent updates.
Requirements for a Local FTP Server
The following requirements apply when configuring a local FTP server.
• The local FTP server must use the default port (21).
