Setting Up The Ftp Server; Setting Up The File Upload Directory On Your Ftp Server - Philips LFH 9160 User Manual

3.1

Setting up the FTP server

The LAN Docking Station can automatically upload dictation files to an FTP server when a Digital
Pocket Memo is connected.
The LAN Docking Station has been tested with a number of FTP servers for the Windows
and Linux platforms. It should also function with any other FTP server conforming to the FTP
protocol specifications standard. The following FTP servers have been tested with the LAN
Docking Station:
• Microsoft Internet Information Server
• WS FTP Server
• WinSSHD
• FileZilla Server
• freeftpd
• OpenSSHD
D Note: The LAN Docking Station opens FTP data connections in passive mode. If there is
a firewall between the LAN Docking Station and your FTP server, make sure that the LAN
Docking Station can connect to port numbers used for passive data transfer. Refer to the
User Manual of your FTP server for more information.
3.2 Setting up the file upload directory on your FTP server
Create a directory on the FTP server to store uploaded dictation files. This dictory will be
referred to as the ‚file upload directory' in this user guide.
If you have multiple LAN Docking Stations on your network, there is no need to create a
di erent file upload directory for each installation. The LAN Docking Station was designed to
work more e ciently with a single shared file upload directory.
E Tip: It is a good practice to make the file upload directory available to employees at
your organization as a shared network folder that they can map to a drive letter on their
computers. This makes it quick and easy for them to pick up dictation jobs, and allows you to
control access to the uploaded dictation files using the existing user and group configuration
in your network domain.
