Security Access Description
Available methods:
• User name and password
• Selectable server port
• Server Enable/Disable
• Secure CoPy (SCP) With FTP, the user name and password are transmitted
as plain text, and files are transferred without the
protection of encryption.
Using SCP instead of FTP encrypts the user name and
password and the files being transferred, such as
firmware updates, configuration files, log files, Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, and Secure SHell
(SSH) host keys. If you choose SCP as your file transfer
protocol, enable SSH and disable FTP.
