The FTP server is configured with the Quick Panel
+
Setup Tool. By default, the server is not
enabled. Once enabled, a background program will run, waiting for clients to connect. Up
to ten connections are supported. Sessions that are idle for five minutes are terminated by
the server.
The server supports non-secure operation. All information including username, password,
and data is transmitted with no encryption and is susceptible to packet sniffing and various
FTP attacks.
Note:
If the server status is changed, the QuickPanel
+
must be restarted before changes take effect.
3.6.1
Remote User Authentication
Note:
The FTP root directory is available from the QuickPanel
+
as \, and is the root of the flash
device.
The server only supports anonymous login with password requested (but not validated).
This may prevent some types of attacks and is required by some clients. Once connected,
the remote user is logged into the FTP root directory.
3.6.2
FTP with Removable Flash Devices
All removable flash devices remote-FTP users as directories off the FTP root directory.
Computer Flash card partitions display as directories such as \SD Memory and USB Flash
Keys display as directories such as \Hard Disk. Full access privileges are granted for the client
in these folders/devices.
Removable flash device directories are captured when a session is opened and are not
changed while the session exists. If you start without an installed SD Card, close your session
and log on again to view the SD Card directory. If the SD Card existed when you logged on,
and is removed and inserted, it will still work, provided the SD Card’s device name did not
change during reinsertion.
3.7
HTTP Server
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server included with the QuickPanel
+
supports
standard (RFC 2616). The HTTP server is configured with the Quick Panel
+
Setup Tool. By
default, the server is not enabled. Once enabled, a background program will run, waiting for
clients to connect. From the QuickPanel
+
Operator Interface, the default web page is located
in \Windows\www\wwwpub.
The server supports non-secure port 80 operation.
Note:
If the server status is changed, the QuickPanel
+
must be restarted before changes take effect.
