FTP Server

Use the

Access

setting to enable or disable the FTP server. The server is

enabled by default.

Use the

Port

setting to identify the TCP/IP port that the FTP server uses for

communications with the Battery Management System. The default

Port

setting is

21

.

You can change the

Port

setting to any unused port from

5000

to

32768

to

enhance the protection provided by

User Name

and

Password

settings.

You must then use a colon (:) in the command line to specify the non-default
port. For example, for a port number of 5000 and a Battery Management
System IP address of 159.215.12.114, you would use this command:

ftp 159.215.12.114:5000

FTP transfers files without using encryption. For higher security,
use Secure CoPy (SCP) for file transfers. When you select and
configure Secure SHell (SSH), SCP is enabled automatically. To
configure SSH, see

Telnet/SSH

. If you decide to use SCP for file

transfer, be sure to disable the FTP server.

To configure SSH, see

Telnet/SSH

. If you decide to use SCP

for file transfer, be sure to disable the FTP server.
