The access controller as an FTP client
You can also maintain the file system of your access controller through FTP with the access controller
as an FTP client.
1) Set up a maintenance environment.
Figure 5-10
Set up a software maintenance environment (access controller as an FTP client)
PC
FTP Server
AC
FTP Client
Console
Ethernet
Run the FTP server program on the PC, set the file path, and set the username and password for the
access controller.
Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP
address of the FTP server (PC) to 192.168.0.1, while that of the access controller’s Ethernet interface to
192.168.0.2. Then use
ping
to verify the network connectivity.
2) Maintain the access controller using the terminal connected to the console port of the access
controller.

Press CTRL+K to abort
