Configuring FTP Access
You can configure the BSR to transfer files between systems on the network using the
Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP is typically used to transfer upgrade files
from an FTP server on the network to the BSR. To configure FTP connections on the
BSR, you must specify the FTP username and password that the BSR must use when
contacting the FTP server.
Follow these steps to configure FTP Access on the BSR:
1. To specify the FTP user name to be used for the FTP connection, use the ip ftp
username command in Global Configuration mode, as shown below:
MOT(config)#ip ftp username <WORD>
where:
WORD is the FTP user name that is up to 31 characters.
Use the no ip ftp username command to delete the entry.
2. To specify the FTP password to be used for the FTP connection, use the ip ftp
password command in Global Configuration mode, as shown below.
MOT(config)#ip ftp password [0 | 7] <LINE>
where:
0 indicates a unencrypted password follows.
7 indicates an encrypted password follows.
LINE is the FTP password, which can be up to 31 characters.
Use the no ip ftp password command to delete the entry.
Note: An FTP username can contain up to 31 characters.
