USING THE M208’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: FTP Daemon 147
The following is the structure of the file system you will see when you ftp to the unit:
/queue
Contains three files with information pertaining to the print queue associated with
each of the M208’s ports (i.e. prn, com1, com2). These files allow you to view the cur-
rent status of each queue.
/dest
Contains six subdirectories, one for each of the six print destination on the M208.
Please see Destinations on page 89 to better understand destinations and printing.
These directories are where files are put in order to print.
/jobs
Contains files representing all the print jobs currently queued. The only command
available for these files is del, which cancels the job.
/config
Contains three subdirectories: current, stored, and default. Each of the files in these
subdirectory represents one data structure of the M208. The files in the current direc-
tory reflect the current configuration, files in the stored directory reflect the stored
configuration, and files in the default directory reflect the default configuration. These
files are in binary format.
/exec
This directory is used as a command interpreter directory. Any file with M208 config-
uration commands that is put to this directory will be interpreted as a series of npsh
commands.
Printing A File Using FTP
The following example shows how to print a file using FTP:
1 Change to the local directory where the file to print resides.
2 Login to the M208 using ftp.
ftp
ipname
3 Login as guest, root, or anonymous.
Guest and root users require the use of passwords as configured in the unit’s user
list. Anonymous is a special login that does not require a password.
