Connecting to ftp.cisco.com using an ftp client.
NOTE: If you are using an FTP client behind a Firewall to connect to ftp.cisco.com, make sure you are using a passive FTP client or you set your client to be in passive mode.
Login as a registered user or as a guest.
- To enter as a registered CCO user, once connected to ftp.cisco.com type in your cco user id and password when prompted.
- To enter as a guest, after connecting to ftp.cisco.com enter 'anonymous' as your user id and type your email address in the form of 'user@host.domain' as a password.
NOTE: You should read the login and directory messages you see on the screen as they may contain important notes regarding explanations, changes or updates to our CCO FTP services and content.
Use the 'ls' or 'dir' command to see files and directories in the FTP service. This command will list all files (including their file size and posting date) and subdirectories in the current directory you're in.
Your screen should look similar to the one shown below:
Once
you reach an image that you wish to download, do a 'get' or 'mget' command to
download files to your computer.
- The 'get [filename]' command will copy a single file from CCO to your compter.
- The 'mget [filename(s)]' command can be used with wildcards ('*.bin' for
example) to fetch multiple files at one time and download them to your computer.
NOTE: Be careful if you have a slow-speed network connection when invoking the 'mget' command in case it ties up your cmputer during a very long download.
