To access the file system of the R&S SMBV via ftp
If the R&S SMBV is connected to a LAN and the required configurations are comple-
ted, you can use File Transfer Protocol (ftp) to access the file system and to transfer
files from and to the instrument.
1. Connect the instrument and the remote PC to a LAN.
2. Find out the "IP Address" of the instrument:
a) Select "Setup > Environment > Network Settings".
b) 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 file access use the user instrument with default
password instrument.
It is highly recommended that you change the user password in the "Security" dia-
log before connecting the instrument to the network!
See Chapter 5.2.3.18, "Security", on page 147.
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. testftp.
7. On the instrument, press the FILE key and open the /var/user/share directory.
The dialog displays the testftp dircetory.
