Autostart Ftp - Intermec 700 Series User Manual

SECTION 7

Autostart FTP

This automatically starts the FTP Server (FTPDCE.EXE) when the 700 Series
Computer is powered on. This is provided with the NDISTRAY program, which
displays the popup menu that currently allows you to load and unload the net-
work drivers. Tap the antenna icon in the System Tray of the Today screen (a
sample antenna icon is circled below) to get this pop-up menu.
The default is to start the FTP Server at boot time, unless the following registry
entry is defined and set to "0" which disables AutoFTP. "1" enables the AutoFTP.
The entry can be set from the NDISTRAY pop-up menu by selecting either
AutoFTP On or AutoFTP Off.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intermec\Ndistray\StartupIFTP
These new entries are located below the selections to load the network drivers.
If the StartupIFTP registry key is not defined, the FTP Server is loaded by de-
fault, to provide "out-of-the-box" capability for customers who want to begin load-
ing files to the 700 Series Computer without any prior configuration.
" NOTE:
If a network driver is unloaded using the NDISTRAY popup menu, and the FTP Server is run-
ning, the FTP Server is stopped.
On a resume, if AutoFTP is enabled and the FTP Server is running, it is stopped
and restarted. NDISTRAY uses a helper application named RESETIFTP to im-
plement the restart on resume feature. To do an AutoFTP Installation Check:
1. Ensure the FTP Server is running "out-of-the-box" the first time.
2. Tap Start → Today to access the Today screen, then tap the antenna icon
in the System Tray to bring up the NDISTRAY pop-up menu. Select
AutoFTP Off to disable AutoFTP. Do a warm boot and confirm the FTP
Server is not running.
