to be uploaded, you need to delete files from the Flash memory to make room for 
the file.

1.1.4  FTP Configuration: A Switch Operating as an FTP Client 
I. Basic configurations on an FTP client 
The function for a switch to operate as an FTP client is implemented by an application 
module built in the switch. Thus a switch can operate as an FTP client without any 
configuration. You can perform FTP-related operations (such as creating/removing a 
directory) by executing FTP client commands on a switch operating as an FTP client. 
Table 1-7 lists the operations that can be performed on an FTP client.
