If it defaulted to DRAFT, add a TLSRFCLEVEL RFC4217 statement to the server's FTP.DATA input to change this behavior.

If your TLSRFCLEVEL is configured as DRAFT, change it to TLSRFCLEVEL RFC4217. One effect of this is that the session is simply closed instead of first sending an SSL Close Alert message first. Place, the router will resort to anonymous FTP.In this situation it was found that the FTP server was configured (defaulted) to the draft level of the FTP/TLS RFCs. If you don’t specify a username and password in either If you don’t specify a username or password on theĬommand line, the router will use the configured FTP username and Password on the command line, it will override whatever values you The command line, the router will send a default password is important to remember that if you specify a username and No password is specified in either the router’s configuration or on If you don’t include an FTP username in the configuration or theĬommand line, the router will default to using anonymous FTP. Then a forward slash, /, separates the filename from the An sign then separates the user informationįrom the server information, which can be either an IP address or aĭNS name. The format of the FTP URL looks like this: colon separates the username, ijbrown, from the password, ianpassword.

You can also override the username and password Once this information is defined, using FTP isĪs easy as using TFTP. In the example, we explicitly configured a FTP username and

However, FTP sends its passwords across the network in unencryptedĬleartext, so it is still not highly secure.

TFTP has no user-level security features. While TFTP file transfers tend toĪbort if they encounter persistent congestion, FTP appears to be moreįTP is also somewhat more secure than TFTP because it uses We find that FTP is better suited for transferringįiles over busy and congested links. Several recipes in this chapter have shown how to transfer filesīetween your router and server by using TFTP.
