9.9 File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
This feature is used to download or upload files and is commonly used in combination with the CLI.
For example:
• Download files: (Diagnostics, Log files);
• Upload files: (Config files, software upgrades, license file, Equalink).
Enable or disable the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server service and the FTP account on following
location:
M6100 >> Device >> FTP
The FTP service (anonymous account) is activated by default.
For security reasons, it is advised to disable the anonymous ftp-account.
When this is done the FTP account can be consulted with the operator and expert
user login and password.
Use an FTP client application to connect to the device.
An example of such an application is FileZilla.
Downloaded or uploaded files can be consulted on the "Remote Site" in the download/upload
folders.
For security reasons, updated files cannot be downloaded again.
(This to avoid that the device will be used as a file server.)
