Pearl User Guide Using the local FTP Server
Using the local FTP Server
Once you have configured a local FTP server, you can use the tool of your choice to download files from the
system.
The system stores files in a folder structure with a folder for each channel and a folder for each recorder.
Channel folders are labeled video (i.e. video3 for channel 3). Recorder folders are labeled
videom (i.e. videom1 for the first recorder). Channel and recorder numbers are displayed
next to the name of the channel or sources in the web admin interface. See
Channels and Recorders .
To get started you will need:
l
The IP address of your system (found in the Network configuration menu)
l
An FTP tool
l
The username and password for your FTP user (See Using the local FTP Server )
In the example below, the IP address of Pearl is 192.168.1.210, the username is admin, there is no password,
and the Windows command line ftp utility is used.
To connect to the FTP server:
1. Open a command window on Windows (alternatively open a terminal window on Linux/Mac, or open
your FTP utility of choice).
2. Establish an ftp connection using the command: ftp 192.168.1.210
3. Provide the username: admin (provide the username of your FTP user)
4. Provide the password: (provide the correct password for your FTP user); the connection is opened.
5. Use the dir command to see the file structure.
