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 program, multiple VOIPs can receive FTP file transmissions in
response to a single command (the transfers may occur serially however).
Although Multi-Tech does not provide an FTP client program with the MultiVOIP software or endorse any
particular FTP client program, we remind our readers that adequate FTP programs are readily available
under retail, shareware and freeware licenses. (Read and observe any End-User License Agreement
carefully.) Two examples of this are the “WSFTP” client and the “SmartFTP” client, with the former having
an essentially text-based interface and the latter having a more graphically oriented interface, as of this
writing. User preferences will vary.
