The document provides an overview of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), including its purpose and operation over TCP/IP networks using port 21. It discusses conflict issues when multiple FTP applications are active, offering solutions for troubleshooting via command line and Windows Task Manager. Additionally, it details configuration procedures for FTP and SFTP servers, including specifications for server properties and command line inputs.

1. What is the FTP?
FTP “ File Transfer Protocol "is protocol
allows users and computers to send and
receive data through a TCP/IP network.
FTP use port number 21

2. Why we use FTP?
We use FTP to send/receive configuration files
to/from nodes (TN, TCU, DUW …etc)
What is the Conflict problem?
Conflict occurs when we try to run FTP
application while we already have
another active FTP application
Ex: TN FTP with freeFTPd

3. To solve that problem we have to check if
we have an active FTP
1- Run that command in the CMD
“ netstat -p tcp -ano | findstr :21”
21 is the FTP port number
2376 is the PID number ….. SAVE IT

4. Open Windows Task Manger >> open "Services“>>>Find
the “ PID “ number>>>check the status of the operation
The status is Running !!

5. If the status is “Running” >> right click then stop
service
Or run command “taskkill /PID 2376 /f”
Run the CMD command again to ensure that no
application use FTP port

6. Other Factors
• Firewall
• Connection type [Home – Public]
• Another ftp connection from another server
on the same node is active as [Remote SOEM
– Remote PC – Local PC].
• Another Credentials is used in the active
connection
• FTP path Inaccurate

11.  Adding an FTP Server
 ( c o n f i g ) # ftp server name <NAME> address <ADDRESS> [port
<PORT>] [user <USER>] [password <PASSWORD>] [servertype
<PROTOCOL>]
 ftp server name reportftp address 192.168.0.102 port 21 user
anonymous password anonymous servertype ftp
 Adding an SFTP Server
 ftp server name reportftp address 192.168.0.102 port 22 user
anonymous password anonymous servertype sftp

12.  Specifying an FTP/SFTP Server for a Service
 ( c o n f i g ) # ftp active {software-upgrade|backup-
configuration|error-log|diagnostic-logs|license-
install|license-report|configuration-report|audit-log|dir-
list|ne-pm|autobackup-configuration} <FTPSERVERNAME>
 ftp active configuration-report reportftp
 Deleting an FTP/SFTP Server
 ( c o n f i g ) # no ftp server name <FTPSERVERNAME>
 no ftp server name reportftp
