3. Install FTP Client Program or Use Substitute. You should install an FTP
client program on the controller PC. FTP file transfers can be done using a
web browser (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer) in conjunction with a local
Windows browser a (e.g., Windows Explorer), but this approach is somewhat
clumsy (it requires use of two application programs rather than one) and it
limits downloading to only one VOIP unit at a time. With an FTP client
program, multiple voips can receive FTP file transmissions in response to a
single command (the transfers may occur serially however).
Although MultiTech does not provide an FTP client program with the
MultiVOIP software or endorse any particular FTP client program, we remind
our readers that adequate FTP programs are readily available under retail,
shareware and freeware licenses. (Read and observe any End-User License
Agreement carefully.) Two examples of this are the “WSFTP” client and the
“SmartFTP” client, with the former having an essentially text-based interface
and the latter having a more graphically oriented interface, as of this writing.
User preferences will vary. Examples here show use of both programs.
4. Enable FTP Functionality. Go to the IP Parameters screen and click on
the “FTP Server: Enable” box.
