Configuring the FTP
Server
Configuring FTP Server
Operating Parameters
The FTP server uses two modes to update files when you upload files (use the put
command) to the FTP server:
■ In fast mode, the FTP server starts writing data to the Flash after file transfer
completes. This protects the files intended to be overwritten on the device from
being corrupted in the event that anomalies, power failure for example, occur
during a file transfer.
■ In normal mode, the FTP server writes data to the Flash during file transfer. This
means that any anomaly, power failure for example, during file transfer might
result in file corruption on the router. This mode, however, consumes less
memory space than the fast mode.
Follow these steps to configure the FTP server:
