Configuring external link settings using the CLI

To launch the wizard to configure settings for a link to an external web page, use the following command:

/cfg/domain 1/linkset <linkset ID>/link <index>/ external/quick

The wizard prompts you to enter the following settings:

•method — HTTP or HTTPS

•host — the host name or IP address of the web server

•path — the path on the web server. You must specify a path. A single slash (/) indicates the web server document root.

Configuring FTP link settings using the CLI

To launch the wizard to configure settings for a link to a directory on an FTP file exchange server, use the following command:

/cfg/domain 1/linkset <linkset ID>/link <index>/ ftp/quick

The wizard prompts you to enter the following settings:

•FTP host — the host name or IP address of the FTP server (for example, ftp.example.com or 10.1.10.1)

•initial path on host — the path to the directory (for example, /home/share/john/manuals/). If you do not specify a path, the FTP server root directory is implied. A slash and exclamation mark (/!) indicate the logged in user’s home directory.

You can use the <var:user> and <var:group> macros in the initial path. For example, you can create a shared project directory with a name that corresponds to the name of a group, and then use the <var:group> macro to provide access to that directory for members of the group. For more information about using macros in links, see “Macros” on page 395.
