Configuring FTP Service

To configure the router to accept FTP as an access service, include the ftp statement at the [edit system services] hierarchy level:



[edit system services]

ftp {
<connection-limit limit>;
<rate-limit limit>;
}

By default, the router supports a limited number of simultaneous FTP sessions and connection attempts per minute. Optionally, you can include either or both of the following statements to change the defaults:

connection-limit limit—Maximum number of simultaneous connections (a value from 1 through 250). The default is 75.
rate-limit limit—Maximum number of connection attempts accepted per minute (a value from 1 through 250). The default is 150.

You can use passive FTP to access devices that accept only passive FTP services. All commands and statements that use FTP also accept passive FTP. Include the ftp statement at the [edit system services] hierarchy level to use either active FTP or passive FTP.

To start a passive FTP session, use pasvftp (instead of ftp ) in the standard FTP format (ftp://destination). For example:



request system software add pasvftp://name.com/jinstall.tgz

You cannot include the ftp statement on routers that run the JUNOS-FIPS software. We recommend that you do not use the finger service in a Common Criteria environment.
