File Server Editor - Dell OpenManage Network Manager Client Manual

File Server Editor

This editor lets you configure new and existing file servers.
This is where you specify the Name, whether the server is Enabled, whether the connection is
secure (Secure FTP/SCP Server), supports TFTP, internal and external (optional) IP addresses, and
Net Masks, and the login and password for the file server. Once you have configured a server, you
can test the file server credentials by clicking on the Test button at the bottom of the screen. Click
Save to preserve your changes.
FTP servers typically must be on the same side of the firewall as the devices with which they
communicate. If you have several such servers, the specified Net Mask also determines which server
communicates with devices in which portion of the network.
Notice that you can now configure an IP address used by Dell OpenManage Network Manager, and
another External IP Address used by the devices. If you configure multiple file servers, Dell
OpenManage Network Manager selects the server with the Net Mask whose subnet is closest to the
device(s) with which it communicates.
