Objectives
Part 1: Configure FTP Services on Servers
Part 2: Upload a File to the FTP Server
Part 3: Download a File from the FTP Server
Background
In this activity, you will configure FTP services. You will then use the FTP services to transfer files between clients and the server.
Note: Packet Tracer only simulates the process for configuring these services. FTP server and client software packages each have their own unique installation and configuration instructions. The first time you attempt to connect to a web address, Packet Tracer takes several seconds to simulate the DNS name resolution process.
Part 1: Configure FTP Services on Servers
Step 1: Configure the FTP service on CentralServer.
a. Click CentralServer > Config tab > FTP.
b. Click On to enable FTP service.
c. In User Setup, create the following user accounts. Click the + button to add the account:
d. Click the default cisco user account and click the – button to delete it. Close the CentralServer configuration window.
Step 2: Configure the FTP service on BranchServer.
Repeat Step 1 on BranchServer.
Part 2: Upload a File to the FTP Server
Step 1: Transfer the README.txt file from the home laptop to CentralServer.
As network administrator, you must place a notice on the FTP servers. The document has been created on the home laptop and must be uploaded to the FTP servers.
a. Click Home Laptop and click the Desktop tab > Text Editor.
b. Open the README.txt file and review it. Close the Text Editor when done.
Note: Do not change the file because this affects scoring.
c. In the Desktop tab, open the Command Prompt window and perform the following steps:
1) Type ftp centralserver.pt.pka . Wait several seconds while the client connects.
Note: Since Packet Tracer is a simulation, it can take up to 30 seconds for FTP to connect the first time.
2) The server prompts for a username and password. Use the credentials for the administrator account.
3) The prompt changes to ftp>. List the contents of the directory by typing dir. The file directory on CentralServer displays.
4) Transfer the README.txt file: at the ftp> prompt, type put README.txt. The README.txt file is transferred from the home laptop to CentralServer.
5) Verify the transfer of the file by typing dir. The README.txt file is now listed in the file directory.
6) Close the FTP client by typing quit. The prompt will return to PC>.
Step 2: Transfer the README.txt file from the home laptop to BranchServer.
a. Repeat Step 1c to transfer the README.txt file to branchserver.pt.pka.
