10.9 How to Transfer Files from and to the Instrument
As explained in "File handling" on page 284, you access the file system of the
R&S SMA100B via one of the following ways:
●
Via the built-in "File Manager"
See Chapter 10.8, "Using the File Manager", on page 298.
●
On an instrument connected to a LAN:
– Via one of the standard functions ftp or SMB (samba)
See Chapter 10.9.2, "Accessing the File System of the R&S SMA100B Via ftp",
on page 307 and
Chapter 10.9.3, "Accessing the R&S SMA100B File System Via SMB
(Samba)", on page 308
– Via mapped network drives
See Chapter 10.8.4, "How to Map a Network Folder", on page 302.
●
Via a connected USB storage device
See Chapter 10.9.4, "Using a USB Storage Device for File Transfer", on page 310
Mainly because of security reasons, the access to the file system of your
R&S SMA100B can be denied, because one or all these access methods are deliber-
ately disabled. Access to the file system via LAN and/or USB requires that the corre-
sponding service is enabled and a write access to the file system is enabled. Refer to
Chapter 10.9.1, "Removing File System Protection", on page 305 for description of the
required steps.
This section provides an introduction to the topic. For comprehensive information, refer
to the application note 1GP72: Connectivity of Rohde&Schwarz Signal Generators.
