3 Enter the FTP mode by using the 

 command followed by the IP address or the name of the host you 

are connecting to. (If you enter a host name, please refer to 

.)

->ftp 10.255.11.101

220 Connecting to [10.255.11.101]...connected.

Cosmo Windows FTP server ready

Name: Myhost1

Note. You can only use a host name instead of an IP address if the DNS resolver has been configured and 
enabled. If not, you must specify an IP address.

You can use the 

 command followed by the IPv6 address or hostname of the FTPv6 server to start an 

FTPv6 session over an IPv6 environment. For example:

-> ftp6 fe80::a00:20ff:fea8:8961 intf1
220 Connecting to [fe80::a00:20ff:fea8:8961]...connected.
Cosmo Windows FTP server ready
Name: Myhost1

Note. It is mandatory to specify the name of the particular IPv6 interface, if the FTPv6 server has been 
specified using its link-local address. 

4 Enter a valid user name and password for the host you specified with the 

 command. A screen 

similar to the following is displayed:

Name (d) : Jsmith

Password: *****

230 User Jsmith logged in.

5 Use the FTP “put” command to transfer the file from your switch to the host as shown here.

6 To exit the switch’s FTP client mode, use the “quit” FTP command. Your current directory on the 
switch is /flash/working, which is the location from which you initiated the FTP client session. Use the 

 CLI command to verify your current directory.

ftp> quit

221 Bye
