Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Before you perform FTP operations on a file, you must specify the FTP working directory. Otherwise, you cannot use FTP to access a device.

The command takes effect for both ipv4 and ipv6 users.

Precautions

FTP users are classified as local authentication users and remote authentication (RADIUS and HWTACACS) users.

The local-user ftp-directory command must be run to specify the FTP working directory for local authentication users. Otherwise, local authentication users cannot use FTP to access the device.
The FTP working directory for remote authentication users can be specified using the HWTACACS server. The set default ftp-directory command can also be used to specify the default FTP working directory for remote authentication users.The set default ftp-directory command applies only to remote authentication users.

Example

# Set the default FTP working directory.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] set default ftp-directory cfcard:/
