FTP server Configuration - Huawei router

Hey!

1. Login to CPE through 192.168.1.1 through the browser.
2. Plugin the USB.
3. Go to "USB Management"
4. Go to the "Server Setting". If the USB is working fine it will show there. Click on submit button.
5. Go to "User Setting". Create a new user by clicking "Add item". Fill in all the details mentioned and make it "Read/Write" if you need to do that mode of operation. The directory will create a directory which can be accessed through FTP. Fill all details and submit it.
6. Run "cmd" command from the windows.
7. Run "FTP 192.168.1.1".
8. Give the user name and password based on the input you gave in step (5) above.
9. You can use all ftp command like mkdir to create new folder, put to copy something to that folder and so on.

Now if you want to copy files / folders into the FTP server, just open 'Computer' or just about any  icon for file explorer.  Key in ftp://192.168.1.1 into the address tab. Windows Explorer will ask you for user name and password. After providing this information, it will show you the directory.

Now you can copy files / folders into this directory and it can be accessed from within your network on as number of devices that can connect on to your router.

The advantage is that you can use your router as a dedicated FTP server for commonly accessed files, even if you are not using the router for internet anymore. Makes the router a bit more useful doesn't it? :D
