Command Line Interface and Application Examples for Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. IP Modules (S000368F) 138
Scenario 22 – Receiving a File from the FTP
Server
This scenario describes the receiving of a file from the FTP server:
• With Automatic Authentication enabled by specifying all authentication details: IP address of the device, valid
login name, valid password, and valid account password.
• Data connection in ACTIVE mode.
• Specifying filename and Directory name in the command line with -n and -d options respectively (<directory-
name/file-name> may be the path name with respect to the ftp root).
Description
The IP module establishes a control connection, automatically checks for the configured
values, and logs into the FTP server. If successfully logged in, the IP module sends a
message as shown here:
Connected
size = <filesize from server>
Press <CR> to receive file
<CR>
------ File Transfer ----
When the complete file is received, the FTP session responds with OK.
By default the data connection is in active mode. The client sets the data transfer mode as
‘BINARY/IMAGE’ during the file transfer.
If the –m option is specified, it prompts the user for the next transaction or to quit. If the
user selects to do another transaction, then he is prompted to enter the Filename again. In
this case, the filename entered for the previous transaction will not be considered. The user
should specify the whole path. The directory specified using “Set ftp directory xxx” or the
filename specified using “set ftp filename xxx” or filesize specified using “set ftp filesize xxx”
will not be considered.
Note: If '-p' is specified in the command, the data connection will be in passive mode.
