FTP Client 87
FTP Client
The DVM2 now supports an FTP client that gets initiated by the scheduler, as described below. It
operates by reading in a text file, which has an FTP script inside of it. The filename convention is
ftpxxxxx.txt. Here’s and example of one:
ftp00003.txt
CONNECT 216.122.40.9 dvm2client1 password
TYPE I
GET vid00001.mpg vid00001.mpg
QUIT
The commands available for the FTP client are:
Command Data1 Data2 Data 3 Description/Comment
CONNECT IP address Username Password This must be the first line. It is used to log into the FTP
server you are trying to reach. Note the IP address must be
an IP address – not a URL. Ex 192.168.0.200 is correct
TYPE I, A Sets the mode to binary or ASCII. Binary mode is necessary
for videos, ASCII mode is necessary for text files.
