How to copy, delete, and view files in the Thin Web Server 
( to update firmware, to update documentation )
 
Two file management utilities are included on the install CD. 
One is for Serial connection and the other is for Ethernet use. 
 
 
Serial Connection 
1.  Connect the downloading serial cable between the TWS 
and your computer. Be sure that the proper COM port 
property settings are in effect. 
 
2. Double click the icon on the 
Windows desktop to start the TWS 
software.  On the menu bar click 
Communication, then select 
Connect to the Server.  When the 
TWS is connected the bottom right corner light turns 
green  Server Connected.  On menu bar click Utilities 
then Server File Management
 
3.  Choose  Yes on all prompts. Listen for a series of low 
beeping sounds after the last prompt (this indicates the 
TWS is in the debug mode).  
 
4.  The  Add / Edit File screen displays. Here you will be 
able to transfer files from the local computer’s 
disk/directory (source) to the TWS’s disk (destination).  
 
5.  To do this, locate and select the file from your local 
computer directory listing (file is highlighted when 
selected). Then select the target destination path in the 
TWS where you want the file to be transferred. Choose 
either  C:\  or  C:\HTML. 
 
6.  Click the Update button to start the process. A DOS 
window opens. Let the process complete; do not 
interrupt it.  When finished, the DOS window will close 
(with a series of beeping sounds). 
 
7.  You can review the current directory list of the TWS. To 
do this click the Delect File tab (bottom of screen), then 
click the View Server Disk button to start the process. A 
DOS window opens. Let the process complete; do not 
interrupt it. The first page of TWS files displays; press 
any key to display the next page of files. After the last 
page, the DOS window will close (with a series of 
beeping sounds). 
 
8.  You can also delete a file from the TWS directory. First, 
you should know exactly what and where the location of 
file that you wish to erase (step 7 helps you verify and 
locate the file). To erase the file, type in the complete 
source path and file name in the FileName text box. Two 
examples are shown below: 
 
Example 1: C:\alarm.bin 
This is an alarm log file in the root directory. 
Example 2: C:\HTML\yel.gif 
This is a file in the HTML subdirectory.
