6.2 Web Based FTP Manager
The “File Manager” Button brings up the FTP
launch window. Note that you need internet access
to run the FTP File Manager and the Java Engine
must be present. Click the big button to proceed. If
internet access is not available you can run the
local Recorder File Manager by clicking on the
“here” link. This is a standalone Windows only
program on the installation disk. It needs to be
installed in accordance with the instructions.
The FTP Manager is used to transfer files between
your local PC and a remote recorder. FTP is short
for File Transfer Protocol a standard for file transfer
over the internet.
If you proceed to the browser based FTP File Manager you will need to have or get the Java
TM
file in order for
the program to work.
If you do not have the Java
TM
program you will not see the FTP Manager but will see the
Java button. Click this to go the Java.com site and click the free download button. This
may take some time depending on your connection speed.
Once downloaded, you may get several warning notices or
security warnings. You need to accept or run the programs
in order for the site to operate properly.
Once the program has been downloaded and
installed you should not see these messages the
next time you run the web browser.
If installed correctly or if it already exists you will
see a popup box asking for a password. Note that
you need to enter the Admin password to access
the FTP File Manager as shown below.
You will always see the Java download engine loading the application before you
are asked for the password to access the recorder FTP server. Remember this is
the Admin password which may be different to the User password.
You may also need to adjust your security settings – In internet Explorer this is
done under Tools – Internet Options – Security. The setting should be “Medium”.
If you are not comfortable with this you need to use custom settings.
You may be prompted each time you access the web server to allow the content to run. Accept this and
continue.
If everything is installed correctly and you enter the correct password you should see the FTP File Manager
shown below.
