10.9.2 Accessing the File System of the R&S SMA100B Via ftp
If the R&S SMA100B is connected to a LAN, you can use file transfer protocol (ftp) to
access the file system and to transfer files from and to the instrument.
For information on how to set up a LAN connection, refer to:
●
Chapter 2.1.3, "Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection", on page 28
●
Chapter 12, "Network Operation and Remote Control", on page 346
To access the file system via ftp
We assume that the instrument and the remote PC are connected to a LAN.
1. Enable file transfer via ftp
2. Enable write permission on the file system
3. On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer.
4. In the address field, enter ftp://<"IP Address" of the Instrument>, e.g.
ftp://10.124.0.166.
Tip: The R&S SMA100B indicates its IP address on the home screen.
A log-on dialog opens and requests a password.
The default user name and password is instrument.
Tip:
Default password
The FTP and SAMBA file access use the user "instrument" with default password
"instrument".
We recommend that you change this password in the "Setup > Security > Pass-
word Management > Change User Password" dialog before connecting the instru-
ment to the network.
See Chapter 11.4.4, "Password Management", on page 341.
5. Enter the password to access the user directory.
The user directory corresponds to the /var/user/ directory of the instrument.
There, you can perform standard functions like creating directory, or saving files.
6. In the user directory, create a directory, e.g. test ftp.
7. Select "System Config > Save/Recall".
