FTP archive doesn't work for telnet only switch

[Jeremy Dubrulle]

Hi,

I'm configuring archive with write-memory and ftp path on several switches.

It's working for almost all of them, I have my conf on my server.

The only 3 switches where it doesn't work are switches where ssh isn't available. I mean it's not even in the IOS.

That seems weird but that's the only thing that is different from the other switches.

Do you know why is it happening ?

When I do a show archive, it's like it's working ! But nothing on the server. Nothing in show logging.

My conf:

ip ftp username configbackup
ip ftp password 7 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

archive

path ftp://X.X.X.X/mypath/$h-$t
write
!

here is for reference : (make sure on the destination you have write access and file exists to write)

Hello @Jeremy Dubrulle ,

try it under archive configuration

path ftp://user:password@server/folder/$h_

Example:

ip ftp password passive

ip ftp source-interface  xxxxxxxxxx

exception core-file FTPdump compress
exception protocol ftp
exception dump <path X.X.X.X>

Thanks for all the replies but it seems like I was not clear because my commands are working for 90% of my switches.

I'm doing a path ftp... and write under archive mode. That's only for the telnet-only switches that the file isn't copied under the server.

However I'll check the commands you gave me Paul. Thanks
