FTP Server File Transfers (“Downloads”)
With the 4.03/6.03 software release, MultiTech has built an FTP server
into the MultiVOIP unit.  Therefore, file transfers from the controller PC
to the voip unit can be done using an FTP client program or even using
a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape, used in conjunction with
Windows Explorer).
The terminology of “downloads” and “uploads” gets a bit confusing in
this context.  File transfers from a...

To transfer files using the FTP server functionality in the MultiVOIP,
follow these directions.

3. Install FTP Client Program or Use Substitute.  You should install an
FTP client program on the controller PC.  FTP file transfers can be done
using a web browser (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer) in conjunction
with a local Windows browser a (e.g., Windows Explorer), but this
approach is somewhat clumsy (it requires use of two application
programs rather than one) and it limits downloading to only one VOIP
unit at a time.  With an FTP client...

5. Identify Files to be Updated.  Determine which files you want to
update.  Six types of files can be updated using the FTP feature. In some
cases, the file to be transferred will have “Ftp” as the part of its filename
just before the suffix (or extension).  So, for example, the file
“mvpt1Ftp.bin” can be transferred to update the bin file (firmware)
residing in the MultiVOIP.  Similarly, the file “fxo_loopFtp.cas” could
be transferred to enable use of...

6. Contact MultiVOIP FTP Server.  You must make contact with the
FTP Server in the voip using either a web browser or FTP client
program.  Enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP’s FTP Server.  If you
are using a browser, the address must be preceded by “ftp://”
(otherwise you’ll reach the web GUI within the MultiVOIP unit).

FTP session before opening the MultiVOIP Windows GUI.
