The value in the left-hand text box is the name of the local user and should be one of the
usernames assigned in the Configuration – Security > Users web page. This name is
then used as the FTP login username when the local device needs to relay a file. The value
in the right-hand text box is the name of the FTP host to which the files from the locally
attached device are to be relayed.
Server Username
The value in this text box is the username required to log in to the specified FTP host.
Server Password
The value in this text box specifies the password to be used to log in to the host.
Confirm Server Password
The password should be retyped into this text box in order to confirm that it has been
entered correctly, given that it is not echoed in clear text.
Remote directory
The value in this text box is the full name of the directory on the FTP host to which the file
is to be saved.
Rename file
When checked, this checkbox causes the router to store the uploaded files internally with a
filename in the form “relnnnn” where nnnn is a number that is incremented for each new file
received. When the file is relayed to the FTP host the original filename is used. When
unchecked, the file is stored internally using its original filename. This parameter should be
set if it a file having a filename longer than 12 characters is to be uploaded. This is due to
the internal file system having the 8.3 filename format (i.e. autoexec.bat).
Transfer Mode ASCII / Binary
These two radio buttons select between the two possible file transfer modes, binary data or
ASCII data.
Transfer Command STORE / APPEND
These two radio buttons select between the two possible storage methods, either append to
or replace existing file.
Attempt to connect to the FTP Server n times
The value in this text box specifies the number of connection attempts that the router
should make if the first attempt is not successful.
Wait s seconds between attempts
The value in this text box specifies the interval (in seconds) that the router should wait in
between successive connections attempts.
Remain connected for s seconds after a file has been transferred
The value in this text box specifies how long (in seconds) that the router will maintain the
connection to the FTP host after transferring a file.
If unable to relay file Delete File / Retain file
These two radio buttons select the behaviour with respect to storing the file if the router
fails to connect to the FTP host (after retrying for the specified number of attempts). Select
Delete File if the file should not be stored permanently. If the file is retained, manual
intervention will be required to recover it at a later stage.
Note:
If the file is not retained, it will be lost if the power is removed from the router.
Email the file before storing or deleting it
