File Transfer Services
With Dell Networking OS, you can configure the system to transfer files over the network using File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). One FTP application is copying the system image files over an interface on to the
system; however, FTP is not supported on VLAN interfaces.
For more information on FTP, refer to RFC 959, File Transfer Protocol.
