ssh Data Tank Gateway_IP –l admin
Data Tank Gateway_IP = IP address of your Data Tank Gateway (192.168.1.1, for instance).

the SSH server once you have entered the administrator password.

SSH allows you to instruct the Data Tank Gateway to download files from an FTP server.

featureis particularly useful when downloading large files from slow FTP servers. The syntax
for the 'ftpget' function is: ftpget -u <username> -p <password> <ftp server> local file
