5.3 Saving Setup, Waveform Display, Numeric, and Image Data to the FTP Server (FTP Client Function)
Explanation
IM WT3001E-51EN
The FTP client function of this instrument can be used to save the setup parameters,
waveform display data, numeric data, and screen image data to an FTP server on the
network in a similar fashion to saving various data on a PC card.
• Save Destination FTP Server
• Specify the FTP server by entering the IP address.
• If you are using DNS (see section 5.2), you can specify the server by name.
• The FTP server program must be running on the PC or workstation that is to
become the save destination FTP server. In addition, the following points need
attention regarding the server program settings.
• Set the list output (string returned by the dir command) to UNIX format.
• Set the home directory and its subdirectories to allow writing.
• The client cannot move above the home directory.
• The newest file is not necessarily displayed at the top of the file list.
• Files and directories that are longer than 8 characters cannot be accessed.
• Depending on the server, the parent directory symbol "<.. >" may not be displayed.
• The time information in the file list will not be displayed correctly for the following
cases.
• On Windows NT when the time stamp is displayed using am and pm.
• Servers that return characters other than ASCII characters in the list
• The following operations are not possible from this instrument on files that have
been saved on an FTP server.
• Enabling/Disabling file protection, copying, and renaming
• Formatting the FTP server medium
• Entering the Login Name and Password
Enter the login name and password for accessing the save destination FTP server.
• Login Name

• Password
• Enter up to 15 characters.
• The characters that can be used are 0-9, A-Z, %, _, ( ) (parentheses), - (minus sign).
• Setting the Timeout Value
When an FTP server is accessed from this instrument and connection cannot be
established after a certain period of time (timeout value), this instrument decides that
the connection to the FTP server is not possible and closes the connection.
You can set the timeout value in the range of 0 to 3600 s. The default value is 15 s.
Note
•
The LPR client function cannot be used under the following cases.
•
When this instrument is performing file operations (see chapter 9 in the User's Manual
IM WT3001E-01EN).
•
When this instrument is being accessed by a PC or workstation on the network (FTP
server function, see section 5.6).
•
To use the FTP client function, you must configure TCP/IP (see section 5.2) in advance.
•
To apply new settings that are made while the connection is up, drop the connection using
Disconnect and reconnect.
•
If a connection is dropped by the server while you are operating the FTP client, the
connection will be automatically reestablished when you display the File List dialog box
through file operation as described in chapter 9 in the User's Manual IM WT3001E-01EN.
