CAUTION: The FTP-related functions require that the route between a FTP client
and the FTP server is reachable.

FTP client
A switch can operate as an FTP client, through which you can access files on FTP
servers. In this case, you need to establish a connection between your PC and the
switch through a terminal emulation program or Telnet and then execute the
ftp
X.X.X.X command on your PC ( X.X.X.X is the IP address of an FTP server).
Table 638 describes the configurations needed when a switch operates as an FTP
client.
