    Hi All, 

     

    we have a customer that has read the following document:

     

    http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_60/UserGuide/Firewall_Port_Info.php

     

    Specifically

     

    • FTP (TCP port 21).

    • TFTP (UDP port 69)

       

    they have said that their security policy does not allow them to use protocols with plaintext auth.

     

    he has asked if its possible to use encrypted FTP or SCP

     

    could anyone explain what is FTP needed for?

     

    Kind Regards

     

    Adam

    Access points download their firmware (operating system) using these protocols.
