Page 71 highlights

Configuring basic parameters Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enable the FTP server. 3. (Optional.) Use an ACL to control access to the FTP server. 4. (Optional.) Configure the idle-timeout interval. Command system-view ftp server enable ftp server acl { acl-number | ipv6 acl-number6 } ftp timeout minutes Remarks N/A By default, the FTP server is disabled. By default, no ACL is used for access control. The default idle-timeout interval is 30 minutes. If no data is transferred between the FTP server and FTP client within the idle-timeout interval, the connection is terminated. Configuring authentication and authorization Perform this task on the FTP server to authenticate FTP clients and set the authorized directories that authenticated clients can access. The following authentication modes are available: • Local authentication-The device looks up the client's username and password in the local user account database. If a match is found, authentication succeeds. • Remote authentication-The device sends the client's username and password to a remote authentication server for authentication. The user account is configured on the remote authentication server rather than the device. The following authorization modes are available: • Local authorization-The device assigns authorized directories to FTP clients based on the locally configured authorization attributes. • Remote authorization-A remote authorization server assigns authorized directories on the device to FTP clients. For information about configuring authentication and authorization, see Security Configuration Guide. Manually releasing FTP connections Task Manually release FTP connections. Command • Release the FTP connection established using a specific user account: free ftp user username • Release the FTP connection to a specific IP address: free ftp user-ip [ ipv6 ] client-address [ port port-num ] 64
