3. Install FTP Client Program or Use Substitute. You should install an

FTP client program on the controller PC. FTP file transfers can be done

using a web browser (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer) in conjunction

with a local Windows browser a (e.g., Windows Explorer), but this

approach is somewhat clumsy (it requires use of two application

programs rather than one) and it limits downloading to only one VOIP

unit at a time. With an FTP client program, multiple voips can receive

FTP file transmissions in response to a single command (the transfers

may occur serially however).
Although MultiTech does not provide an FTP client program with the

MultiVOIP software or endorse any particular FTP client program, we

remind our readers that adequate FTP programs are readily available

under retail, shareware and freeware licenses. (Read and observe any

End-User License Agreement carefully.) Two examples of this are the

“WSFTP” client and the “SmartFTP” client, with the former having an

essentially text-based interface and the latter having a more graphically

oriented interface, as of this writing. User preferences will vary.

Examples here show use of both programs.
4. Enable FTP Functionality. Go to the IP Parameters screen and click

on the “FTP Server: Enable” box.
