Usage Guidelines

To manage FTP server files on a client, you must run the ftp server enable command to enable the FTP server function to allow FTP users to log in to the FTP server.

If the FTP server function is disabled, no user can log in to the FTP server, and users who have logged in to the FTP server cannot perform any operation except logout.

The FTP protocol compromises device security. SFTP V2 or FTPS mode is recommended.

After the ftp server enable command is run, the device receives login connection requests from all interfaces by default. Therefore, there are security risks. You are advised to run theftp server-source command to specify the source interface of the FTP server.

Example

# Enable the FTP server function.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] ftp server enable

Warning: FTP is not a secure protocol, and it is recommended to use SFTP.
Info: Succeeded in starting the FTP server.
