Autostart Ftp - Intermec CN2B User Manual

Autostart FTP

CN2B Mobile Computer User's Manual
This automatically starts the FTP Server (FTPDCE.EXE) when the CN2B
Computer is powered on. This is provided with the NDISTRAY program
(the Network Driver Interface Specification tray application), which dis-
plays the popup menu that currently allows you to load and unload the net-
work drivers. Tap the antenna icon in the System Tray of the Today screen
(a sample antenna icon is shown below) for this pop-up menu.
The default is to start the FTP Server at boot time, unless the following reg-
istry entry is defined and set to "0" which disables AutoFTP. "1" enables the
AutoFTP. The entry can be set from the NDISTRAY pop-up menu by
selecting either AutoFTP On or AutoFTP Off.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intermec\Ndistray\StartupIFTP
These new entries are located below the selections to load the network driv-
ers. If the StartupIFTP registry key is not defined, the FTP Server is loaded
by default, to provide "out-of-the-box" capability for customers who want
to begin loading files to the CN2B Computer without prior configuration.
Note: If a network driver is unloaded using the NDISTRAY pop-up menu,
and the FTP Server is running, the FTP Server is stopped.
On a resume, if AutoFTP is enabled and the FTP Server is running, it is
stopped and restarted. NDISTRAY uses a helper application named RESE-
TIFTP to implement the restart on resume feature.
To do an AutoFTP Installation Check:
1 Ensure the FTP Server is running "out-of-the-box" the first time.
2 Tap Start > Today to access the Today screen, then tap the antenna icon
in the System Tray to bring up the NDISTRAY pop-up menu. Select
AutoFTP Off to disable AutoFTP. Perform a warm-boot and confirm
the FTP Server is not running.
