FTP server
Applications
The file transfer protocol (FTP) server (RFC959) ena-
bles access to the labeller's internal RAM disk and to
the compact flash card in the card slot of the labeller (as
long as there is a compact flash card in the slot).
In this way, files (configuration or firmware files) can be
saved to the CF card or the internal RAM disk, or exist-
ing files renamed or deleted.
The FTP server is multi-session compatible.
The FTP server should not be heavily used
during a high performance application of the
labeller.
