Configuring authentication and authorization on the FTP server
To allow an FTP user to access certain directories on the FTP server, you must create an account for the user,
authorizing access to the directories and associating the username and password with the account.
The following configuration is used when the FTP server authenticates and authorizes a local FTP user. If the
FTP server needs to authenticate a remote FTP user, you must configure authentication, authorization and
accounting (AAA) policy instead of the local user. For detailed configuration, see the Security Command
Reference.
In local authentication, the switch checks the entered username and password against those configured on
the switch. In remote authentication, the switch sends the entered username and password to the remote
authentication server, which then checks whether they are consistent with those configured on the switch.
When the switch serves as the FTP server, if the client is to perform the write operations (upload, delete,
create, and delete for example) on the device’s file system, the FTP login users must be level 3 users; if the
client is to perform other operations, for example, read operation, the switch has no restriction on the user
level of the FTP login users.
