An external FTP server can be used to store images captured by the MicroHAWK. The reader can connect to an FTP server and can send images and cycle reports to that server for storage. The following procedure describes how to set up an external FTP server.
The example procedure shown here uses FileZilla Server, which can be downloaded at https://filezilla-project.org/. Note that FileZilla is a Windows-only utility.
Connect to the server. Use the 127.0.0.1 server address if you are setting up the server on your PC. Note the port that you use – 14147 in the example shown here – as the port number will be required when you log back into the server.
Note: pwd represents the password you set on the General page of the FileZilla Server interface.
