How to Configure FTP on Cisco Router

In this video, the presenter demonstrates how to configure FTP and transfer files between a router and an FTP server. For demonstration purposes, the setup includes assigning IP addresses to the router and the FTP server. The video shows how to access the FTP service, where a default username and password are provided with read, write, delete, test, and rename permissions. The presenter then configures the router with the FTP username and password. They note that even with the service password encryption command, the credentials remain unencrypted. After confirming that files are already on the FTP server, the presenter uploads a file from the router to the FTP server, explaining the commands used for the transfer. Once the upload is complete, the presenter checks the FTP server to confirm the file is there. They then demonstrate how to transfer a file back from the FTP server to the router, using the appropriate commands, and verify the successful transfer with the show flash command. The video concludes by summarizing the process of transferring files to and from the FTP server.
