USER’S GUIDE
Metered Rack PDU
74
To use FTP to retrieve the files. To use FTP to retrieve the event.txt or data.txt file:
1. At a command prompt, type ftp and the Rack PDU’s IP address, and press
ENTER.
If the Port setting for the FTP Server option (set through the Network menu of the
Administration tab) has been changed from its default (
21), you must use the
non-default value in the FTP command. For Windows FTP clients, use the following
command, including spaces. (For some FTP clients, you must use a colon instead
of a space between the IP address and the port number.)
ftp>open ip_address port_number
2. Use the case-sensitive User Name and Password for Administrator or Device
User to log on. For Administrator, apc is the default for User Name and
Password. For the Device User, the defaults are device for User Name and
apc for Password.
3. Use the get command to transmit the text of a log to your local drive.
ftp>get event.txt
or
ftp>get data.txt
You can use the del command to clear the contents of either log.
ftp>del event.txt
or
ftp>del data.txt
You will not be asked to confirm the deletion.
–If you clear the data log, the event log records a deleted-log event.
–If you clear the event log, a new event.txt file records the event.
4. Type
quit at the ftp> prompt to exit from FTP.
To set a non-default port value to enhance security for the FTP Server,
see File Transfers. You can specify any port from 5001 to 32768.
