FTP Server 37 (258)
• If \ftp.cfg is missing or cannot be interpreted, all username/password combinations will be
accepted and the home directory will be the FTP root (i.e. \ftp\).
• The home directory for a user must also exist in the file system, if the user shall be able to
log in. It is not enough just to add the user information to the ftp.cfg file.
• If Admin Mode has been enabled in the Ethernet Object, all username/password combina-
tions will be accepted and the user will have unrestricted access to the file system (i.e. the
home directory will be the system root). The vfs folder is read-only.
• It is strongly recommended to have at least one user with root access (\) permission. If not,
Admin Mode must be enabled each time a system file needs to be altered (including \ftp.
cfg).
6.3 Session Example
The Windows Explorer features a built-in FTP client which can easily be used to access the file
system as follows:
1. Open the Windows Explorer.
2. In the address field, type FTP://<user>:<password>@<address>
– - Substitute <address> with the IP address of the Anybus module
– - Substitute <user> with the username
– - Substitute <password> with the password
3. Press Enter. The Explorer will now attempt to connect to the Anybus module using the
specified settings. If successful, the file system will be displayed in the Explorer window.
