Use HDD Bypass Mode for Transferring Large Files

The performance of transferring files utilizing the FS-2/FS-2E ftp server is not faster than real time. It is recommended that HDD Bypass mode is used to transfer larger files. The web control interface can be used to remotely place the FS-2E into HDD bypass mode. For more information, see HDD Bypass on page 50 and Web Interface on page 74.
