Copying Configuration Files by Using FTP

You can copy configuration files to or from an FTP server.
The FTP protocol requires a client to send a remote username and password on each FTP request to a
server. When you copy a configuration file from the WMIC to a server by using FTP, the Cisco IOS
software sends the first valid username in this list:
•
•
•
The WMIC sends the first valid password in this list:
•
•
•
The username and password must be associated with an account on the FTP server. If you are writing to
the server, the FTP server must be properly configured to accept your FTP write request.
Use the ip ftp username and ip ftp password commands to specify a username and password for all
copies. Include the username in the copy command if you want to specify only a username for that copy
operation.
