Accessing the File System of the Instrument and Transferring Files from and to
the Instrument
To access files and the file system of the instrument or to use the general file manage-
ment functions such as copying and moving data, use the standard "File Manager" dia-
log.
To transfer files from and to the instruments or to exchange files, use one of the follow-
ing alternatives:
●
Connect a memory stick to one of the USB interfaces.
The instrument recognizes automatically a connected memory stick.
●
Connect the instrument to a LAN.
For information on how to set up a LAN connection, refer to
Up a Network (LAN) Connection"
An instrument connected to a LAN supports the standard file transfer methods from
a remote client:
–
FTP (file transfer protocol)
see
"To access the file system of the R&S
–
File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol
see
"To access the file system of the R&S
Both file transfer methods access the folder
/var/user/share
.
This section provides an introduction to this topic. For comprehensive information, refer
to the Application Note 1GP72 "Connectivity of Rohde&Schwarz Signal Generators".
To access the file system of the R&S
SMF via ftp
If the R&S
SMF is connected to a LAN and the required configurations are completed,
you can use File Transfer Protocol (ftp) to access the file system and to transfer files
from and to the instrument.
1. Connect the instrument and the remote PC to a LAN.
2. Find out the "IP Address" of the instrument:
a) Select "Setup > Environment > Network Settings".
b) Write down the "IP Address" of the instrument, e.g.
10.113.10.105
.
3. On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer.
