Configuring the FTP Server
Configuring FTP Server Operating Parameters
The FTP server uses two modes to update files when you upload files (use the put command) to the
FTP server:
z
In fast mode, the FTP server starts writing data to the Flash after file transfer completes. This
protects the files intended to be overwritten on the device from being corrupted in the event that
anomalies, power failure for example, occur during a file transfer.
z
In normal mode, the FTP server writes data to the Flash during file transfer. This means that any
anomaly, power failure for example, during file transfer might result in file corruption on the router.
This mode, however, consumes less memory space than the fast mode.
Follow these steps to configure the FTP server:

account.
