FTP client configuration example

As shown in Figure 20, the PC is acting as an FTP server. A user account with username abc and password 123456 has been created on the PC.

• Use the IRF fabric as an FTP client to log in to the FTP server.

• Download the temp.bin file from the FTP server to the FTP client.

• Upload configuration file config.cfg from the FTP client to the FTP server for backup.

# Configure IP addresses as shown in Figure 20. Make sure the IRF fabric and PC can reach each other. (Details not shown.)

# Examine the storage space on the member devices. If the free space is insufficient, use the delete/unreserved file-url command to delete unused files. (Details not shown.)
