FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) can easily be used on APF boards either to transfer some files from elsewhere (= as client) or to provide files to others (= as server).

FTP client

# ftpget
# ftpput

FTP server

Buildroot propose ProFTPD as standard FTP server. You can add it to your rootfs with:

 $ make menuconfig

[*] Networking  --->
    [*]   proftpd

 $ make

• then reflash your rootfs
• ProFTPD will be automatically launched thanks to the /etc/init.d/S50proftpd script
• you can configure the server with: /etc/proftpd.conf
