Run the FTP server program on the PC, set the file path, and set the username and password for the
access controller.

address of the FTP server (PC) to 192.168.0.1, while that of the access controller’s Ethernet interface to
192.168.0.2. Then use ping to verify the network connectivity.

controller.
