The program is launched from the desktop icon shown right or from the programs menu. The program launches the window below:
Figure 6.5.2 – FTP Manager
The red numbers are for reference only. The software is intended for use with the recorders only – it is specific to this task. This FTP client is specifically for intranet use but will work over a wide area network (global internet). If you have internet access you can run the web browser ftp manager.
The functions of the program are as follows:
1Connection information. The Server IP is the address of the recorder. You can get this from the system information button on the setup menu. Note: If you are using the world wide web you will need to know the real address of your firewall/router which needs to be set up for port forwarding to the recorder IP address. You also need the User Name and Password. The program remembers User Names and IP addresses and you can use the drop down menu to select previous entries. Once set up you need to connect to establish a link to the recorder. See 5 below
2Local file listing - Displays files and child folders in your current local directory. The current active file or folder is highlighted in blue.
3Remote file listing - Displays files and child folders in your current remote (recorder) directory. The current active file or folder is highlighted in blue.
4Upload and Download buttons to initiate transfer of highlighted files from source to destination. Be careful about loading files to the recorder.
