The FTP server is an option, which might be used
for various purposes. Primarily we have implemented this feature for
our own benefit in order to transfer executable files from the
development system to the test system.
Nevertheless it is extremely useful for downloading
log files from a maintenance system or for upgrading the software
after a change.
The feature must be enabled by an appropriate entry
in the configuration file EC.ECD and the license code in APPL.PRJ must
include this feature.
The access to the client station is possible using
any commercial FTP client software.
A username and a password must be supplied.
The client station maintains a user/password file,
which is encoded with the MD5 algorithm. |

When configuration files or the
executable itself have been upgraded the software at the client system
must be restarted. This can be accomplished by simply transferring a
file with the name REBOOT.COM of any size into the application
directory of the client system. The currently running software checks
periodically for the presence of such a file and, if found, it deletes
the files and executes a reboot. |
