About FTP relay agents
FTP Relay agents allow any files to be transferred onto the router by a specified user, using the
File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The files are temporarily stored in memory and then relayed to a
specific FTP host. This is useful when the router is being used to collect data files from a locally
attached device such as a webcam which must then be to a host system over a slower data
connection such as W-WAN. In effect, the router acts as a temporary data buffer for the files.
The FTP Relay Agent can also be configured to email, as an attachment, any file it was unable to
transfer to the FTP server. To do this, go to Configuration > Alarms > SMTP Account and set the
Email Template, To, From, and Subject parameters as appropriate, and also configure the SMTP
client.
