Setting the FTP Connection Destination
Consult your network administrator when setting parameters such as the primary/
secondary FTP servers, port number, login name, password, account, availability of the
PASV mode, and the initial path.
• FTP connection
You can specify two destination FTP servers, Primary and Secondary. If the primary
FTP server is down, the file is transferred to the secondary FTP server.
• FTP server name
Enter the name of the file transfer destination FTP server using up to 64 alphanumeric
characters.
• If the DNS is used, you can set the host name as a server name. For details on
setting the DNS, see section 1.3.
• You can also set the IP address. In this case, the DNS is not required.
• Port number
Enter the port number of the file transfer destination FTP server in the range of 1 to
65535. The default value is 21.
• Login name
Enter the login name for accessing the FTP server using up to 32 alphanumeric
characters.
• Password
Enter the password for accessing the FTP server using up to 32 alphanumeric
characters.
• Account
Enter the account (ID) for accessing the FTP server using up to 32 alphanumeric
characters.
• PASV mode
Select On when using the FX behind a firewall that requires the passive mode. The
default setting is Off.
• Initial path
Enter the directory of the file transfer destination using up to 64 alphanumeric
characters. The delimiter for directories varies depending on the implementation of the
destination FTP server.
Example) When transferring files to the “data” directory in the “home” directory of an
FTP server on a UNIX file system.
/home/data
When There Is a File with the Same Name at the Transfer Destination
Under all circumstances, when there is a file with the same name at the transfer
destination, it is overwritten
Operation When the Data Transfer Fails
If the FX fails to transfer files to both the primary and secondary FTP servers, the FX
aborts the file transfer operation. When the FX is attempting to transfer display data files,
event data files, or report data files, if the connection to the destination recovers, the
FX transfers new data files along with the files that the FX failed to transfer. Note that
because the FX transfers data from its internal memory, if the data that the FX failed to
transfer is overwritten, it is lost.
