Transferring Files
You can transfer files from the 4294A, if connected to LAN, to an external computer
connected to the same LAN or vice versa by use of FTP (file transfer protocol).
NOTE
The description given below assumes that you are familiar with the basic operation in a
Window environment, such as Windows 95, Windows NT, and so on, and that you have
basic knowledge about the operation of MS-DOS. For questions as to the operation of
Windows 95 or other environment, see appropriate references.
File transfer procedure using ftp
A file transfer procedure that uses ftp (an FTP-based file transfer program) is described
here by taking up an example in which you transfer a file (name: ex_pc.sta) located on the
external computer in a Windows environment to the flash memory (non-volatile memory)
of the 4294A (IP address: 1.10.100.50, host name: hp4294a) and you transfer a file (name:
ex_ins.sta) located on the flash memory of the 4294A to an external computer.
Step 1. Start up the screen in which the MS-DOS prompt is ready.
Step 2. Move to the directory in which ex_pc.sta is stored.
Step 3. At the MS-DOS prompt, type either
ftp 1.10.100.50
or
ftp hp
4294a, and press
the Return key.
Step 4. Pressing the Return key twice causes the ftp prompt to appear.
NOTE
The file system of the 4294A is provided with neither user name protection nor password
protection. Therefore, you can login as any user name without password for the account.
Step 5. Type
dir
at the ftp prompt and press the Return key, then a list of directories appears. The
directories displayed correspond to the built-in storage units of the 4294A given below. For
the dynamic data disk, see “Saving/Recalling a File in/from an External Computer” on
page 171.
data Dynamic data disk
int Built-in floppy disk drive
nvram Built-in flash memory disk (non-volatile memory)
ram Built-in RAM disk (volatile memory)
Step 6. Type
cd nvram
at the ftp prompt and press the Return key to move to the flash memory.
Step 7. Type
binary
at the ftp prompt and press the Return key. This step sets file transfer mode
to binary form.
NOTE
Choose a file transfer mode in conformity with a file you transfer. That is, set the mode to
ASCII form when dealing with a file having the extension “.TXT” or a program file in
Instrument BASIC, otherwise set the mode to binary form.
