Using FTP Client
The User Interface contains several
FTP
commands. Using these commands is similar to using
FTP
on a
UNIX
system. Follow the steps below to start the
FTP
Client.
1. Log on to the switch and type
ftp
. For instructions on logging into the switch see the
Getting Started Guide that came with your switch.
2. The system will prompt for a host. It saves the last host name or
IP
address used. If it’s the
one you want, press
<Enter>
or enter the new address.
3. The system will prompt for a user name. It saves the last user name. If it’s the one you
want, press
<Enter>
or enter the new user name.
4. The system will prompt for a password. Enter your password.
5. After logging onto the system you will receive the
ftp>
prompt. Type a question mark (?)
to review the ftp commands. These commands are described in Chapter 7, “Managing
Files.” The following screen displays:

If you lose communications while running ftp, you may receive the following message:

6. You may press
<cntl-c>
to abort the ftp or wait until the communication failure is resolved
and the ftp transfer will continue. Note that Sun OS systems lose echo when you use the
cntl-c
key combination.
