You must activate FTP service on the Avaya media server for it to receive files:
Log in to the Avaya media server.
On the main menu under the Security section, click Start/Stop FTP Server.
Check the current state of FTP service: enabled or disabled. FTP service should be disabled between file transfers.
Click Start Server to activate FTP service on the Avaya media server.
You cannot start FTP service
if it is blocked on the Set LAN Security
screen.
On the computer or server that contains the files to copy, run an FTP application.
You may use a GUI FTP application if one is installed on your computer.
Alternatively, you could run a command-line version of FTP. For example:
From the Start menu on a Windows system, select Run.
In the Run window, type ftp <hostname or IP address> at the prompt.
You can only enter the server name instead of an IP
address if you are accessing the server over a network with DNS service.
Direct connections using a laptop (the services link) must use the server's
IP address if DNS is disabled.
Specify the following to connect to the Avaya media server:
Host name: name or IP address of the media server
User ID: anonymous
Password: your email address
Terminal type: enter the appropriate type for your computer if prompted
Set mode to binary as follows:
In the FTP application window, select the Binary option.
For a command-line session, type bin at the prompt.
Put the files onto the server:
In the FTP application window, choose the correct files and copy them as required by your application.
For a command-line session, type put </directory/filename> at the prompt for each file you need to copy, where </directory/filename> is the location of the file on your computer. Files are always "put" to the /var/home/ftp subdirectory on the server.
For a Windows system, you may need to preface the
put destination with a drive letter. For example, put
<drive:\directory\filename>. Note that Linux systems use
forward slashes in the directory name.
When the file transfer is complete:
Close the FTP application window.
For a command-line session, type quit.
Disable FTP service on the Avaya media server to prevent unauthorized users from transferring files there:
Click on the Avaya media server's web interface window to access the Start/Stop FTP Server screen.
Click Stop Server to deactivate FTP service.
