Windows CE Operating System Chapter 4
FTP Server Configuration
The FTP Server tab in the Network Server Configuration dialog box configures
settings that are used for exchanging files over a network. These are standard
Microsoft Windows CE parameters.
The default FTP configuration lets any user establish an FTP connection to the
HMI terminal by logging in anonymously and downloading files from the FTP
default directory (\Temp).
Always click OK to apply new settings. You are asked if you want to restart the
service immediately.
