log in to the remote FTP server.

and configure the username, 
password, user privilege level,

Device (FTP 
server) 

Configure the FTP server 
operating parameters 

Parameters such as the FTP connection timeout

client) 

Use the FTP client program 
to log in to the FTP server.

client.

When you use IE to log in to the device serving as the FTP server, part of the FTP functions is not 

available. This is because multiple connections are established during the login process but the 

device supports only one connection at a time.
