Configuring Authentication and Authorization on the FTP Server
To allow an FTP user to access certain directories on the FTP server, you need to create an account for
the user, authorizing access to the directories and associating the username and password with the
account.
The following configuration is used when the FTP server authenticates and authorizes a local FTP user.
If the FTP server needs to authenticate a remote FTP user, you need to configure authentication,
authorization and accounting (AAA) policy instead of the local user. For detailed configuration, see
AAA
in the
Security Command Reference
.
In local authentication, the device checks the input username and password against those configured
on the device. In remote authentication, the device sends the input username and password to the
remote authentication server, which then checks whether they are consistent with those configured on
the device.
Follow these steps to configure authentication and authorization for FTP server:

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.
