Communication Configuration: How to Access a Network Management Interface on a Configured InfraStruXure PDU

150kW InfraStruXure PDU—Operation and Configuration

FTP and SCP

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

To access the InfraStruXure 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 for their high-security authentication and encryption,
disable FTP. Allowing file transfer to the InfraStruXure PDU through FTP
compromises the high security you implement by choosing SSL and SSH. To disable
FTP, you must be an Administrator; use the FTP Server option of the Network menu.
