Security Access
Description
• User name and password
• Local or RADIUS 
authentication
• Configurable server port
• Server Enable/Disable
• Secure CoPy (SCP)
With FTP, the user name and password are transmitted 
as plain text, and files are transferred without the 
protection of encryption.
Using SCP instead of FTP encrypts the user name and 
password and the files being transferred, such as 
firmware updates, configuration files, log files, and 
Secure SHell (SSH) host keys. If you choose SCP as 
your file transfer protocol, enable SSH and disable FTP.
