Configuring authentication and authorization on the FTP server
To allow an FTP user to access certain directories on the FTP server, you must create an account for the
user, authorizing access to the directories and associating the username and password with the account.
The following configuration is used when the FTP server authenticates and authorizes a local FTP user. If
the FTP server needs to authenticate a remote FTP user, you must configure authentication, authorization
and accounting (AAA) policy instead of the local user. For detailed configuration, see the Security
Command Reference.
In local authentication, the switch checks the input username and password against those configured on
the switch. In remote authentication, the switch sends the input username and password to the remote
authentication server, which then checks whether they are consistent with those configured on the switch.
