Using the access controller module as the FTP server
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite. It is mainly used for
file transfer between remote hosts. FTP provides a reliable, connection-oriented data transfer service over
TCP.
With the access controller module as the FTP server, you can run the FTP client application on a PC and
log in to the access controller module for file operations.
Before using FTP, you need to install the FTP client application on your PC. The FTP client software is not
provided with the access controller module. You need to make sure that it is available by yourself. The
description here assumes that you are using the FTP client application of Microsoft Windows XP.
1.
Set up a network environment, as shown below:
Figure 13 Set up a software maintenance environment (access controller module as FTP server)
Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP
address of the FTP client to 192.168.0.1, and that of the access controller module’s management Ethernet
port to 192.168.0.100. Use ping to verify the network connectivity.
2.
Enable FTP service.
You can enable FTP service after configuring FTP server authentication and authorization. Use the
following command to enable FTP service.
