Name
ip ftp password — global
Synopsis
ip ftp password [encryption-level
]password
no ftp password
Configures
The FTP password
Default
username@routername.domain
Description
This command sets the password to be used for FTP connections. The
default password is appropriate for anonymous FTP connections. If you
do not use anonymous FTP, you must use this command to provide an
appropriate secret password. The
encryption-level
allows you to encrypt the
password within the router’s configuration, so people who have
access to the configuration file won’t learn it. The
encryption-level
may be 0 or 7; 0 does not
encrypt the password, while 7 uses a proprietary (but not
particularly strong) encryption scheme.
