File Transfer Modes
File Transfer Modes
This function enables you to set the file transfer protocol, FTP, TFTP, SFTP, SCP, or SFTP
Server. You can also select the default transfer mode and the single device transfer mode as
needed.
Default transfer mode: Allows you to set the default file transfer protocol of
devices.
Single device transfer mode: Allows you to set the file transfer protocol of
a single device.
A device uses TFTP to transfer files by default. You can configure the
single device transfer mode for a specific device requiring special settings.

- Select the default file transfer mode, FTP, TFTP, SFTP, SCP, or SFTP Server.

logging in to the FTP server.

and password for logging in to the SFTP server.
