How to work with the PrintServer's file system

The file system in the PrintServer is equal to an FTP server.
To access the file system, you need an ftp program. This is supplied with your operating system.

To make an FTP connection

• From the command prompt, issue the ftp command. Type:

  
  ftp <IP address>
  
  

  The PrintServer will prompt you for a username and a password. Both are adm by default. Once you are logged in, you have access to the FTP commands listed below:

FTP commands

• ascii - set ascii transfer type.
• bin - set binary transfer type.
• bye - end the FTP session.
• cd - change directory.
• delete - delete a file in the PrintServer's file system.
• dir - list contents of PrintServer's directory.
• get - transfer one file from the PrintServer to your computer.
• hash - toggle printing '#' for each buffer transferred.
• ls - compressed listing of PrintServer's directory.
• put - transfer one file from your computer to the PrintServer.

  Note: You can type help to see additional FTP commands, and help <command> to get help on a specific command.

The PrintServer's files are organized as follows:

/config

configuration and status files.

/gifs

image files in GIF format.
