This will open the computer’s default FTP application, which could be Windows
Explorer, a web browser, or a 3

computer/operating system is configured for by default). This example will
assume that a web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) is configured as the
default FTP application.
An authentication dialog will appear (refer to Figure 11). Enter the currently-
configured user name and case-sensitive password (defaults are “root” and “icc”,
respectively), then click “Log On.”

The web browser will then display the filesystem’s contents (refer to Figure 12.)
FTP access via a web browser allows viewing and downloading files to a
computer, but does not allow advanced file manipulation such as cut, paste,
drag-and-drop, etc. For advanced file manipulation abilities, use of a different
FTP application is required.
