Figure 24   Creating a Remote FTP Upload/Download Configuration 

To create a remote FTP upload/download configuration:

1 Connect the PC to any port on the router through a WAN. This procedure does 

not require that the IP address of the PC and that of the router be on the same 
segment.

2 Copy the application program files or configuration files to a suitable path. The 

default is C:\version. 

To start the FTP server on the router and to set the user name and password, you 
should work with the maintenance personnel at the router site. All FTP client 
programs can use the username and password to log on to the FTP server. 

To start the FTP server and set the user name and password:

1 Set the authentication mode:

[3Com] aaa-enable

[3Com] aaa accounting-scheme optional

2 Add the user name and password:

[3Com] local-user user password simple 123 service-type ftp

where 

is the user name and 123 is the password.
