Using ftp for File Transfers
File transfers can be done using the instrument LAN connection. For
example, you can use the ftp functionality to download instrument
screen dumps to an external server.
A sample ftp session might be:
ftp 15.88.163.118 (<instrument IP address>)
At the name prompt enter:
vsa
At the password prompt enter:
service
You are now in the instrument /users directory and can get files from
the analyzer. Type in help at the prompt to see the ftp commands that
are available on your system. Typing quit will end your ftp session.
Do NOT delete files from this directory. Most of the files are required for
NOTE
the instrument, and it's optional personality modes, to operate.
The Standard UNIX FTP Command:
Synopsis ftp [-g] [-i] [-n] [-v] [server-host] [-B
DataSocketBufferSize]
Description The ftp command is used to transfer files using the File
Transfer Protocol. ftp transfers files over a network connection
between a local machine and the remote server-host.
Options and Parameters When ftp is invoked with a server-host
specified, a connection is opened immediately. Otherwise, ftp waits for
user commands.
