44 FRITZ! – 6 FRITZ!data
6.3 Server Mode
In Server Mode your computer answers incoming calls from
remote computers and allows remote users to copy your
computer’s files or to transfer files to your disk drive. You can
monitor the operations initiated by the remote user in the
FRITZ!data window.
If a connection to any remote computer is active, it must be
cleared down before starting Server Mode. Then check the
following settings:
The file transfer protocol set here must match the proto-
col used by the file transfer software running on the re-
mote computer. The options are IDtrans and Eurofile.
Server Mode is not available for the FTP protocol.
Look at the status bar at the bottom of the “FRITZ!data
File Transfer” window to see which protocol is currently
active. To change the protocol, select the “Transfer Proto-
col” command in the “Data” menu. You also have the op-
tion of activating automatic protocol detection. Select
the “Detect protocol” option on the “ISDN” page of the
FRITZ!data settings. FRITZ!data then automatically de-
tects which protocol the remote site expects, and uses
the detected protocol for the current connection.
This option is only available with an AVM ISDN-Controller
in conjunction with the latest driver software.
Notify your users of the Multiple Subscriber Number
(MSN) at which FRITZ!data accepts incoming calls. This
is the MSN you set under “Call Acceptance” on the
“ISDN” settings page.
Define the access protection data for the users who are
to have access to your computer, and inform each caller
of the name and password you have assigned.
