8.5.2 FileWeb/DataWeb Server Components and Requirements.
While the actual server-side development is more involved than this manual will cover, component overview
and installation is covered in section A.2 of the Appendix.
Web Development Support:
Future Design Controls does not support or develop custom server-side web solutions. We can offer 3rd party
resources to assist customers in these development requirements.
8.6 FDCUtil.com Web site for FTP, FileWeb and DataWeb Testing
The FDCUtil web site is a Future Design Controls http/https site that allows customers to create a free account
and test the FTP, FileWeb and DataWeb interfaces offered on the MCTB. The site automatically deletes files
every hour since this is a test site only and cannot be used for permanent web storage of files or data. The
site allows customers to fully test and verify that data is being transferred properly from the MCTB device to the
FDCutil site, thereby providing everything needed to test the MCTB and the Internet connection without
requiring additional software or development. This allows the customer to test the interface and pick which type
of data transfer is the best for operations.
Access the Web Site and Create an Account:
To create a free account, go to the following link:
https://fdcutil.com/FDDataWeb/
Click on the “Sign Up” link. Enter your name, company name, email address and password. Note that your
email address will not be used for solicitation purposes. It is used to send an account verification email. The
email sent requires no confirming information; it only verifies that a real user got the email before activating the
account. Although FdcUtil.com is a no-charge site, important user data is encrypted for additional protection.
