5.2.8.5 Using the FTP or SAMBA/SMB File Sharing and Accessing the File System
Provided that the R&S SMB is connected to a LAN and the required configurations are
completed, you can use the FTP (file transfer protocol) 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 R&S SMB Quick Start Guide
manual, chapter "Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection".
This section provides an introduction to this topic. For comprehensive information, refer
to the Application Note 1GP72 "Connectivity of Rohde&Schwarz Signal Generators ".
To access the file system of the R&S SMB via ftp
We assume that the instrument and the remote PC are connected to a LAN.
1. Select "Setup > Environment > Network Settings".
The "Network Settings" dialog opens.
2. Write down the "IP Address" of the instrument, e.g. 10.113.10.105
3. On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer.
4. In the address field, enter ftp://<"IP Address" of the Instrument>, e.g.
ftp://10.113.10.105
A log on dialog opens and requests a password.
Tip: Default password. The FTP and SAMBA/SMB file access use the user instru-
ment with default password instrument.
It is highly recommended that you change the user password in the "Security" dialog
before connecting the instrument to the network!
See chapter 5.2.3.15, "Security", on page 97.
5. Enter the password to access the /var/user/share directory.
You can access the files in the /var/user/ directory, perform standard function like
creating directory, etc.
6. Open the /var/user/share directory and create a new directory, e.g.
test ftp.
7. On the instrument, press the FILE key and open the /var/user/share directory.
