Hi everyone,

 

I would like to know if it's possible to use a FTP server and not a TFTP server to make a Firmware upgrade on a Fortifate 60D. OS running : 5.0.8.

 

I see that in this document (http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/1087/fortigate-install-system-admin-50.pdf) the CLI command only for TFTP server, but as you know, TFTP use UDP and it's not really secure...

 

Thank you for helping !

Try a combination of 

execute upload image ftp <filename_str> <comment> <server_ipv4[:
port_int] | server_fqdn[:port_int]> [<username_str>
[<password_str>]]
and 
execute set-next-reboot {primary | secondary}

exec reboot. The hardware will have to have enough flash disk space to hold 2 images.

The server should be directly connected to the FGT with a single cable. No one should be able to sniff that sucker... If they could, all they would get would be a firmware image for your FGT. No corporate secrets there.
