Section 20.2.8 · Chapter 20: Setting up Target Panel

FTP Server

To access files in the target panel from a remote site you need to do the following:
1. Open Internet Explorer (or any other web browser) and enter the site address. You will need to type ftp:// and then the IP address of the target panel. For example, you can type it
as ftp://192.168.10.163. To set the IP address of the target panel, please see Section 20.2.2 for details.
2. The target panel (FTP site) requires a user name and password to login.
If the target panel has an application, the user needs to enter a password defined in that application with sufficient user level to enter the FTP site for reading/writing files.
Note: A user that can write files is able to read files too.

　If the target panel has no application, the user can remote access the FTP site by using the default password “123”.


After you have successfully logged on to the target panel (FTP site), you will see the available files that you have permission to access. It will look very similar to your Windows Explorer or My Computer view. From there, you can read and write files from your local hard drive to the target panel (FTP site) and vice versa. Keep in mind that you will need to have the appropriate permission to perform file operations. These permissions will be assigned to the user account in the target panel (FTP site).


To assign a user name and read/write permissions for the target panel (FTP site), you can press the FTP/VNC button on the Panel Setup screen to bring out the following sample screen:

The FTP Site screen appears with the following options:

Property

 Description

Lowest User Level for Write Specifies the user level that is required to write files to the target panel.
Lowest User Level for Read Specifies the user level that is required to read files from the FTP site.
File Folder For FTP Server Press it to bring out the ASCII Character Keypad to enter the file folder.
