D.1.2 Via FTP
The MPS software resides on the Lantronix FTP server (ftp.lantronix.com). Most of these
files are binary data, so the binary option must be used to transfer the files. All released files
are in the pub directory. Always download the README file in the pub directory before
downloading anything else; it contains a list of available software files.
