When the device 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 device
has no restriction on the user level of the FTP login users, that is, any level from 0 to 3 is allowed.
