About FTP relay agents
FTP Relay agents allow any files to be transferred onto the router by a specified user, using the File
Transfer Protocol (FTP). The files are temporarily stored in memory and then relayed to a specific
FTP host. This is useful when using the router to collect data files from a locally attached device
such as a webcam which must then be to a host system over a slower data connection such as W-
WAN. In effect, the routers acts as a temporary data buffer for the files.
The FTP Relay Agent can also be configured to email, as an attachment, any file it was unable to
transfer to the FTP server. To do this, go to Configuration > Alarms > SMTP Account and set the
Email Template , To , From , and Subject parameters as appropriate, and also configure the SMTP
client.
