FBxEdge supports FTP, which allows devices to securely exchange files with the

edge devices. FBxEdge is the server in this exchange and the client is running
on the device that is on the same network as FBxEdge.
FTP can be used to transfer data into a CSV file or similar formats. It also can be

used to read a file from the drive and send data to the cloud.
SFTP is the secure version of FTP.

The FTP client must be running on a device that is on the same network as FBxEdge.
Use the following details to configure the FTP client and establish a connection to the
FBxEdge server.
Important
When you create a user for FTP access the system presents the password for that user
only once. Additionally, the system displays a dialog indicating that you must copy the
password at that time. If you do not, the system invalidates that password and you must
then create a new FTP user.
Host: The IP address of the FBxEdge device

Username: The FBxEdge FTP username

Password: The password

Port: The default FTP port is 21. The default SSH port is 22. SFTP uses port 22.

Filezilla ® works well as the FTP client communicating with FBxEdge. To establish a
connection with FBxEdge (the FTP server) from Filezilla, enter the Host, Username, and
Password values (as described above), then click Quickconnect. Once connected, drag
files from their source location to the default FTP directory in FBxEdge. This directory is
/ftp-data.
