Upgrading BootWare and Applications Using FTP
If the application file is large, you can use FTP to download it for upgrade, to reduce maintenance time.
As an application layer protocol, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is mainly used to provide data transfer
between hosts. FTP provides reliable and connection-oriented data transfer service over TCP.
Compared with TFTP, the FTP software is much bigger.
There are two approaches to upgrading BootWare and application files using FTP:
