Confi gure > FTP Relay Agents > RELAY n 4.35
The FTP Relay agents allow any files transferred onto the unit by a specified user (using File Transfer
Protocol), to be temporarily stored in memory and then relayed to a specified FTP host. This is use-
ful when the unit is being used to collect data files from a locally attached device such as a webcam,
which must then be relayed to a host system over a slower data connection such as GPRS. In effect,
the unit acts as a temporary data buffer for the files.
The FTP Relay Agent can also be configured to email (as an attachment) any files that it was unable
to transfer to the FTP Server. To facilitate this you should set the Email Template, To, From and
Subject parameters as appropriate and also configure the SMTP Client (see Configure > SMTP).
Using the Web Page(s)
The web page includes the following parameters:
Local username:
This parameter should be set to match one of the usernames programmed in the Configure >
Users page. This name is then used as the FTP login “username” when the local device needs to
relay a file.
Server hostname:
This is the name of the FTP host to which files from the locally attached device are to be
relayed.
Server username:
This is the username required for login to the specified FTP host.
Server password:
This is the password to be used for logging into the FTP host.
Server confirm password:
Enter the password again in this field to confirm it.
Remote directory:
This is the full name of the directory on the FTP host to which the file is to be saved.
File transfer mode:
This specifies either binary mode or ACSII mode for file transfers.
File transfer command:
This specifies either append or store (replace) mode for the file transfer.
Client timeout (s):
This parameter is specifies the length of time in seconds that the unit will maintain a connection
to an FTP host after transferring a file.
Client retry count:
This parameter specifies the number of times the unit will try to connect to the specified FTP
host.
Client retry interval (s):
This parameter specifies the interval in seconds between successive retries.
