Configuration procedure
1) Configure the PC (FTP server)
Perform FTP server–related configurations on the PC, that is, create a user account on the FTP server
with user name “switch” and password “hello”. (For detailed configuration, refer to the configuration
instruction relevant to the FTP server software.)
2) Configure the switch (FTP client)
# Log in to the switch. (You can log in to a switch through the Console port or by telnetting the switch.
See the “Login” module for detailed information.)
If available space on the Flash memory of the switch is not enough to hold the file to be uploaded, you
need to delete files not in use from the Flash memory to make room for the file, and then upload the file
again. The files in use cannot be deleted. If you have to delete the files in use to make room for the file
to be uploaded, you can only delete/download them through the Boot ROM menu.
# Connect to the FTP server using the ftp command in user view. You need to provide the IP address of
the FTP server, the user name and the password as well to enter FTP view.
