Transferring Files
Transferring files onto your Information Station involves connecting to the
Information Station from your PC or Local Area Network using a network card
and the Ethernet port on the back of the Information Station.
Transferring Files using FTP
File Transfers to the Information Station can be accomplished by using a
common Internet/Unix file transfer utility called FTP (which stands for File
Transfer Protocol), such as WS_FTP. This program is freely available on most
computer platforms, just like a web browser.
To transfer a file to or from the Information Station, run FTP, selecting the
proper IP address, login name, and password. You should then be able to
connect to the Information Station, and transfer video files across the Network to
the Information Station. For help with FTP, please refer to the Getting Started
section at the beginning of this manual. Other helpful information can be found
in the section entitled
Networking
.
You will also be able to update the Information Station’ s Operating System by
transferring the file OS.NEW to the Information Station via FTP, and then
power-cycling the unit, as discussed in the section entitled
Update Operating
System .
