How to Access a Configured Rack PDU

Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start

FTP/SCP

You can use FTP (enabled by default) or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer
new firmware to the Rack PDU, or to access a copy of the Rack PDU’s
event logs. SCP provides the higher security of encrypted data
transmission and is automatically enabled when you enable SSH.

To access the Rack PDU through FTP or SCP, the default user name and
password are apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a
Device Manager. In the command line, use the IP address of the unit.

Note

If you enable SSL and SSH, disable FTP. Allowing file
transfers using FTP compromises the high security
environment of SSL and SSH. Administrators can disable
FTP using the FTP Server option of the Network menu.
