How To Connect to the IT-100 with FTP

One you enable FTP on the IT-100, you can use any number of FTP Client software to connect to the IT-100 and upload and download files to and from the device. You can consult your preferred computer software vendor for which type of FTP client software would be right for you or do a search on the Internet for free FTP client software. In the case of the latter, you will need to download and install the FTP client software onto your computer. Once you have the software installed on your computer, you must configure it to connect to your IT-100 over the Internet. The example presented below is based on one type of FTP client software and the client you use may operate differently. While every effort was made to present this information as accurately as possible, we can only make authoritative statements regarding the operation of the IT-100.

• Note: The FTP client software should let you browse the file systems of both your computer and the IT-100. If your permissions on the IT-100 are limited, you will be restricted as far as which files and folders you can access. The manager account will be able to browse the folders of all the domains created on the device.
