To transfer files via the network
1. Confirm that the first four tasks in this chapter have been completed.
2. If you do not know the network address of your analyzer, press [
Local/Setup
],
[
LAN setup
], [
LAN port setup
], then write down the value displayed under [
IP address
].
3. On the computer, type: ftp <IP_address>
(where <IP_address> is the network address of your analyzer).
4. On the computer, just press <Enter> (or <Return>) when you are prompted
for a name and password.
5. If you want to list the files in the root directory, type: ls
6. Change to the directory where you want the file transfer to occur by typing:
cd <directory>.
7. If the file is an ASCII file, set FTP to ASCII by typing: ascii. If the file is a binary
file, set FTP to binary by typing: binary.
8. If you want to transfer a file from the analyzer to the computer, type:
get <filename>
9. If you want to transfer a file from the computer to the analyzer, type :
put <filename>
10. To exit FTP, type <quit>
The computer you use to transfer files must be attached to the network
and configured with software that implements the following networking
application: TCP/IP’s File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Refer to the
documentation supplied with that software for additional information about
using FTP to transfer files.
You cannot transfer LIF files from the computer to the analyzer. LIF files
can only be transferred from the analyzer to the computer. If you transfer
a LIF file from the computer to the analyzer, the LIF file will be corrupted.
For information about the analyzer’s directory structure, see the “FTP (File
Transfer Protocol)” topic in online help. (Press [Help] [1] to select the
online help index, use the knob or the arrow keys to highlight “FTP (File
Transfer Protocol),” and press [4]).
FTP is available only in analyzers that have options UTH and UG7. To
determine if your analyzer has these options, see this task: “To determine if
you have options UTH and UG7.”
