Data Files Page (FileWeb): 
 

The data files page, accessible from the “Files” menu item, lists the files in the customer’s data directory. These 
are only the files in the customer’s directory, not all uploads. The user can delete the files from this page. 
 

 

 

FileWeb sample setup using FDCutil.com: 

 
To setup the MCT for use with the FDCutil.com FileWeb server, go to the FTP/WAN screen on the MCT and 
enter the following data into the screen fields. Make sure to replace the “custName” and “custPassword” text 
below with the actual user name/password entered during the FDCutil.com signup process. 
 
Type = FileWeb 
IP Add = https://fdcutil.com/FDDataService.svc 
User = custName  
Password = custPassword 
Server = optional 
Port = not used 

 

Press the “Save” button to complete the setup on the MCT FTP/WAN screen.  Press the “Start” button to begin 
a manual transfer of files from the MCT to the FDCutil.com site.  Login to the FDCutil.com site to view the FTP 
files by pressing on the Files link on the page (or press Files link if already logged into FDCutil.com)
