Linux/Mac OS X

Open the console window or start 'Terminal' (Mac OS X). You now need to type in:

ssh FSG_IP –l admin

FSG_IP = IP address of your FSG (192.168.1.1, for instance). Now connect with the FSG's
SSH server and sign in as admin. You can use the SSH server once you have entered the
administrator password.

Sample SSH application

SSH allows you to instruct the FSG to download files from an FTP server. The file is then
saved on the FSG without having to turn the PC on. This featureis particularly useful
when downloading large files from slow FTP servers. The syntax for the 'ftpget' function
is: ftpget -u -p local file path and name &

Example:

ftpget -u anonymous -p [email protected] ftp.ftp.com ftp.exe /pub/ test.exe &

User to Connect As:

anonymous

Password:

[email protected]

FTP server:

ftp.opera.com

Local file name:

Remotefilepathandname:

/pub/test.exe —> path and file name on FTP server &
—> Continues download when PuTTY is closed.
