z FTP uses two modes for file transfer: ASCII mode (which can be set with the ascii command) and
binary mode (which can be set with the binary command).
z The Is command can only display the file/directory name, while the dir command can display more
information, such as the sizes of and date of creation of files or directories.
z The commands listed in the above table are only available for level 3 (manage level) users logging
in to the device which serves as the FTP client. However, whether the users can successfully
execute the commands depends on the FTP server’s authorization.
FTP Client Configuration Example
Network requirements
z As shown in Figure 8-2, use an access point (AP) as an FTP client, PC as an FTP server. Their IP
addresses are 10.2.1.1/16 and 10.1.1.1/16 respectively. AP and PC are reachable to each other.
z AP downloads a boot file from PC, and uploads the configuration file to PC for backup.
z On the PC, an FTP user account has been created for the FTP client (AP), with the username
being abc and the password being pwd.
