Using FTP
FTP allows users to transfer files between the signal generator and any computer connected
to the LAN. For example, you can use FTP to download instrument screen images to a
computer or download files to the signal generator. When logged onto the signal generator
with the FTP command, the signal generator’s file structure can be accessed. Figure 1-5
shows the FTP interface and lists the directories in the signal generator’s user level directory.
NOTE File access is limited to the signal generator’s /user directory.
