This section contains a discussion of the FTP server included on the module.
This server provides remote file control of the module. This facility requires an
FTP client program on the user's computer. Attach to the module's FTP server
using your client FTP software. The following functions are supported through the
FTP server:
FILE TRANSFER:
HTML, image or any other file can be transferred between the
module and a remote computer. There must be enough space on the module's
C: drive to receive the transferred file.
FILE VIEWING: Any file on the module can be transferred for viewing on the
remote computer.
FILE REMOVAL: Any file on the module can be removed. Be careful not to
remove a file required for the proper operation of the module. If you do, the
module will fail to operate, and may require reloading.
The FTP server is most commonly used for viewing the module configuration and
transferring the following file types to the module: Web HTML files and e-mail
message files.
Additionally, the FTP server can be used to control the module. If the module
recognizes the presence of certain files in the root directory of the module's C:
drive, special functions will be performed. Presently, the following operations are
supported:
File Name Operation
WARMBOOT If this file is present, the module will perform the warm-boot operation.
This is commonly used to load a new configuration.
COLDBOOT If this file is present, the module will perform the cold-boot operation. This
operation is required after loading new Web pages to the module to force
them to be copied to the virtual disk drive.
RESET If this file is present, the module will reset all the diagnostic counters.
The FTP server on the module permits only one client connection. If an attempt
is made to connect to the server and no connection can be established, someone
else is currently using the service.
