FTP (file transfer protocol)
By using an FTP client application, you can transfer files between this unit and
a computer.
Connect to this unit and login in the same way as with other FTP servers. After
connecting and logging in, “A:” and “B:” will appear in the root directory. These
correspond to the unit's CF1 and CF2 slots. If the corresponding slot does not
contain a card, the “A:” or “B:” will appear empty.
NOTE
iTo display Japanese, use an FTP application that supports Unicode.
iAlways set the maximum number of simultaneous transfers of the FTP client
application to “1”. If not set to “1” files cannot be transferred properly.
