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.

Ensure that the switch has a route to the FTP server. The switch 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 switch through the console or 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 switch 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 switch.
Purpose
Verify that the FTP server is properly configured by referring
to the
"Preparing to Download or Upload a Configuration
File By Using FTP" section on page
Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet
session.
Enter global configuration mode on the switch.
This step is required only if you override the default remote
username or password (see Steps 4, 5, and 6).
(Optional) Change the default remote username.
(Optional) Change the default password.
