SDS Æ Launch Direct FTP
The Launch Direct FTP tool is used for
administrative purposes
. If you wanted to clean up old data
log files, this tool will allow you to perform this action. Only data stored in the E folder should be
manipulated or removed. The Launch Direct FTP menu option will start a new FTP session. This will
open a new window that displays all of the files and directories on a specific SDS instrument (figure
2.36).

Please note that if Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 is installed on the computer, then the ftp session window
will be displayed as a link-style, instead of the folder-style. If only Internet Explorer 6 or earlier is
installed, then the ftp session window will be in a folder-style window. If Internet Explorer 7 is installed,
it is possible to open the ftp session in a folder-style window. Click on the
Launch Direct FTP
menu
option, then with Internet Explorer 7 open, click on the Page button in the top right of the screen and
select the option
Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer
(figure 2.36b). This will open a folder-style window.
