5.1 Configuring an HTTP Server
To upload and download files between your host computer and the bridge, you will
need an HTTP server application running in the host. The server must have a
cgi--bin directory immediately below the root directory. Here is a path example:
<drive:>\<http.root_directory>\cgi-bin
The cgi--bin directory must be configured for read--execute privileges.
5.1.1 Configuration Example
Here are guidelines for configuring the Microsoft Personal Web Server software in
Windows NT for bridge uploading and downloading. Refer to your server software
guidebook for details.
H Install the HTTP server application program in your host.
H Select the Windows Control Panel. Click the HTTP Server icon, and select
Properties. This will open the ‘Personal Web Server Properties’ dialog.
H Click the Administration tab, and click the ‘Administration’ button.
H Under ‘Select the PWS Service to View’, select ‘WWW Administrator’.
H Click the Service tab.
