CONFIGURING THE FTP SERVER
Numerous FTP clients are available on the market, some free, others at a charge. Windows®
Explorer is an example of FTP client embedded in the OS. The FTP Server configuration is
available in the Communication module.
FTP SERVER SETTINGS
Check the Enable FTP Server check box to activate the FTP Server support. The following
settings are then available.
• The Anonymous Access defines the rights for a user accessing the server with
anonymous username and password. If Disabled, no anonymous users can access
the server. In Read-Only mode, the anonymous user can only download files
from the CompactFlash card. In Read-Write, the user will have full access on the
CompactFlash card. For security reasons, Disabled is recommended.
• Enable the Record Log File to keep a log of all FTP interactions in the root
directory of the CompactFlash card. This file can be useful when debugging FTP
operations, but it will tend to degrade performance slightly.
FTP SECURITY
Since the FTP Server can provide full remote access to the CompactFlash card, for security
reasons, it has to be protected with password access. The Security Manager provides all the
flexibility by creating independent users. Each user are assigned specific rights. Two are
available for FTP Server access.
• Check FTP Server Read Access to authorize a user to download files from the
Master CompactFlash card.
• Check FTP Server Write Access to authorize a user to upload files to the Master
CompactFlash card.
