6.2 Web Based FTP Manager
The “File Manager” Button brings up the FTP launch
window. Note that you need internet access to run the
FTP File Manager and the Java Engine must be
present. If you are communicating through a firewall or
router Port 21 must be enabled. Click the big button to
proceed. If internet access is not available you can run
the local
Recorder File Manager by clicking on the
“here” link. This is a standalone Windows only program
on the installation disk. It needs to be installed in
accordance with the instructions.
The FTP Manager is used to transfer files between your
local PC and a remote recorder. FTP is short for File
Transfer Protocol a standard for file transfer over the
internet.
If you proceed to the browser based FTP File Manager you will need to have or get the Java
TM
file in order for the
program to work.
If you do not have the Java
TM
program you will not see the FTP Manager but will see the Java
button. Click this to go the Java.com site and click the free download button. This may take some
time depending on your connection speed.
Once downloaded, you may get several warning notices or
security warnings. You need to accept or run the programs in
order for the site to operate properly.
Once the program has been downloaded and installed
you should not see these messages the next time you
run the web browser.
If installed correctly or if it already exists you will see a
popup box asking for a user name and password.
Note that you need to enter the Admin password to
access the FTP File Manager as shown below.
You will always see the Java download engine loading the application before you are
asked for the password to access the recorder FTP server. Remember this is the
Admin password which may be different to the User password.
You may also need to adjust your security settings – In internet Explorer this is done
under Tools – Internet Options – Security. The setting should be “Medium”. If you are
not comfortable with this you need to use custom settings.
You may be prompted each time you access the web server to allow the content to run. Accept this and continue.
If everything is installed correctly and you enter the correct password you should see the FTP File Manager shown
below.
The FTP Manager allows for file manipulation between the local PC (computer) and the remote recorder. It functions
much like Windows Explorer
TM
and allows files to be uploaded or downloaded between devices, allows files to be
renamed, moved, copied and deleted. This program limits access to the certain folders and all media in the recorder to
prevent accidental deletion of system files that could stop the recorder from operating. Proceed with CAUTION.
