Configuring the FTP Server

To transfer files by the system’s FTP server, you must configure the FTP server and ensure that FTP client software is installed on the network host.

Although you can transfer any type of file by FTP to the E-series router, the principal aim of this feature is to allow the transfer of system files to NVS. You can transfer files by FTP to the user space. You can then install files from the user space onto the system using the copy command. It is not possible to access the system files directly through FTP operations.

FTP sessions on the E-series router use the vty lines. The E-series router divides its vty resources between Telnet, SSH, and FTP services. Each FTP session requires one vty line. The FTP service uses the authentication method configured for the vty lines.
