■ System view
Description The FTP server can update files you upload to it in either of the following modes:
■ In fast mode, the FTP server judges whether there is enough space for storing files
in the Flash and then starts writing data to the Flash memory after file transfer
completes; if there is not enough space, the FTP server sends error prompt
message and releases memory. This protects the existing files on the router from
being ruined in the event that anomalies, power failure for example, occur during
a file transfer.
■ In normal mode, the FTP server writes data to the Flash memory during file
transfer. This means that any anomaly, power failure for example, during file
transfer might result in corruption of the files on the router. This mode consumes
less memory than the fast mode, however has a lower security factor.
