Embedded Sftp Server; 5.3.1.1 Fireftp - Syscom Video MR3000C User Manual

5.3.1

Embedded SFTP server

The MR has an embedded SFTP server that allows you to easily download events and background
files from the MR to your computer. SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP using SSH
connection).
Do not mix up the SFTP server described here with the FTP send service described in chapter
4.3.9. FTP send pushes the files in given time intervals to a remote server, the SFTP server allows
you to interactively download the files on your PC.
To use SFTP you must install a SFTP client on your PC. Then you connect to the MR (which is the
server), and you can browse the events and background files. The log-in and password you need
to know are:
Log-in: user
Password (default): serial number of the MR
NOTE: Every SFTP client has a refresh button somewhere. When you browse through the
content of the MR, and you don't see the files that are supposed to be there, just click
the refresh button.
Below you will find a list of SFTP clients with a quick explanation on how to use it. All these
software are free, and widely available on the Internet.

5.3.1.1 FireFTP

If you are using Firefox as Web browser, this is the favored SFTP client. You have to install the
add-on FireFTP. This SFTP client is directly integrated into your Web browser.
To install it, launch Firefox, and click on Tools->Add-ons. Then choose and install FireFTP, and
restart Firefox. Then you need to add a button for a convenient access to FireFTP: just click on
View->Toolbars->Customize, find the FireFTP button, and drag/drop it to the toolbar somewhere.
Click on this button now, the FireFTP tab will appear. Select "Create an account".
