    In MCR/MC architecture, It is not clear why FTP is needed between CAP and managed device/controller.

    There are a couple of other threads that you may find useful:

    The AP should use FTP for software transfer from the MC and then TFTP if FTP is unavailable. FTP is a more reliable protocol.
