Notes
• To execute FTP commands, you must install application
software such as Content Browser on your computer.
• The commands supported by application software vary.
• An FTP client software that supports UTF-8 is required
to use Unicode characters other than ASCII characters.
Command prompt FTP commands do not support
UTF-8.
