Working with Configuration Files
If the server has a directory structure, the configuration file is written to or copied from the directory
associated with the username on the server. For example, if the configuration file resides in the home
directory of a user on the server, specify that user's name as the remote username.
For more information, refer to the documentation for your FTP server.

Ensure that the WMIC has a route to the FTP server. The WMIC and the FTP server must be in the
same subnetwork if you do not have a router to route traffic between subnets. Check connectivity to
the FTP server by using the ping command.
If you are accessing the WMIC through a Telnet session and you do not have a valid username, make
sure that the current FTP username is the one that you want to use for the FTP download. You can
enter the show users privileged EXEC command to view the valid username. If you do not want to
use this username, create a new FTP username by using the ip ftp username username global
configuration command during all copy operations. The new username is stored in NVRAM. If you
are accessing the WMIC through a Telnet session and you have a valid username, this username is
used, and you do not need to set the FTP username. Include the username in the copy command if
you want to specify a username for only that copy operation.
When you upload a configuration file to the FTP server, it must be properly configured to accept the
write request from the user on the WMIC.
