FTP
FTP (the file transfer protocol) is used in IP networking to transfer files to and from
a variety of hosts. Many OSs (such as Windows) include an implementation of an
FTP client utility. In the Niagara environment, you can use an FTP utility on your PC
to transfer files such as HOSTS files and
niagarad.properties to and from a
JACE-4/5.
Caution • As with the use of the target shell, using FTP to transfer files to a JACE could
result in host or station inoperability if you send a file with incorrect
information. The Admin Tool is the preferred method of changing data in these
files.
• In addition, enabling FTP on a JACE creates a greater security risk since FTP
is a utility available on many operating systems. There is a greater risk that
someone could access the host with FTP, rather than with our Admin Tool,
which has a restricted installation.
Before you transfer files, however, you must enable the FTP server on the JACE-4/5.
Use the following procedure to enable FTP on the JACE.
Procedure 2-10 Enabling FTP on the JACE-4/5.
Step 1 Start the Admin Tool (see steps 1 to 5 of “Starting the Admin Tool and accessing
network settings.,” page 2-2).
Step 2 From the menu choose Host > Edit System Properties.
The system.properties file opens in a text editor window.
Step 3 Add a new empty line to the bottom of the file by placing your cursor at the end of
the last text line and pressing ENTER.
Step 4 Type:
ftpEnable=true
Your system.properties file should look similar to Figure 2-11.
