Example for Configuring the FTP Server
Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 1, routes between the PC and the device functioning as an FTP server are reachable. 10.136.23.5 is the management Ethernet interface's IP address of the FTP server. To upgrade the device, upload the system software from the PC to the device, and backup the configuration file to the PC.
Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
- Configure the FTP function and FTP user information including user name, password, user level, service type, and authorized directory on the FTP server.
- Save the vrpcfg.zip file on the FTP server.
- Connect to the FTP server from the PC.
- Upload devicesoft.cc to and download vrpcfg.zip from the FTP server.
Procedure
- Configure the FTP function and FTP user information on the FTP server.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] sysname FTP_Server [FTP_Server] ftp server enable [FTP_Server] aaa [FTP_Server-aaa] local-user admin1234 password irreversible-cipher Helloworld@6789 [FTP_Server-aaa] local-user admin1234 privilege level 15 [FTP_Server-aaa] local-user admin1234 service-type ftp [FTP_Server-aaa] local-user admin1234 ftp-directory flash:/ [FTP_Server-aaa] quit [FTP_Server] quit
- Save the vrpcfg.zip file on the FTP server.
<FTP_Server> save
- Connect to the FTP server from the PC as user admin1234 whose password is Helloworld@6789 and transfer files in binary mode.
Assume that the PC runs the Windows XP operating system.

The devicesoft.cc file to be uploaded and the vrpcfg.zip file to be downloaded are stored in the local directory on the FTP client. Before uploading and downloading files, obtain the local directory on the client. The default FTP user's local directory on the Windows XP operating system is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.
- Verify the configuration.
# Run the dir command on the FTP server to check the system software configuration file is uploaded to the device.
