50.5.1 Setting Up Logfile Transfers

To set up FTP logfile transfers, on the Menu tab of the Navigator, choose Configuration > File Transfer.

In the window that appears, click the Settings button.

50.5.1.1. FTP Server Settings

User, Password

User name and password on the FTP server, if required.

Server Address

IP address or host name of FTP server.

Port

The FTP server port to use.

Server Logfile Directory

Path to the directory on the FTP server where the uploaded logfiles will be stored (in a subdirectory named according to the current date). The logfile names are augmented with a timestamp indicating the time of upload: _tfu__hh_mm_ss ("tfu" means "TEMS file upload").

Local Logfile Directory

The local directory on the PC from which logfiles will be uploaded.

50.5.1.2. Logfile Options

Start transfer when logfile is closed

If this is checked, every logfile will be transferred immediately after the recording has ended. If the option is not checked, you initiate transfers manually as described in section "Starting Logfile Transfers".

[...] files after transfer

Delete: After logfiles have been uploaded, they are deleted from the local directory.

Move: Within the local directory, logfiles that have been uploaded are moved to a subdirectory Complete that is created automatically for the purpose. If Start transfer when logfile is closed is checked, this behavior is preselected and cannot be changed.

Generate MD5 checksum

If checked, TEMS Investigation will generate an MD5 checksum (128-bit hash value) for each logfile to be transferred and send that value as a text file along with the logfile. Using some suitable third-party software, you can then compute the checksum for the uploaded file and confirm that it agrees with that of the original.

50.5.1.3. Equipment

Here you select the device to use for logfile transfer. The transfer can be done over a cellular network, or over an Ethernet or WLAN connection.

Note: Transfer over Ethernet or WLAN requires that detection of network adapters be enabled (it is disabled by default). See section "Detection of Network Adapters".
Note that you do not need to have the device activated in TEMS Investigation to be able to transfer files.
For a cellular network device, you need to supply parameters for connecting to the network. Click the Connection parameters button to open the dialog for creating a Network Connect configuration set. The parameters of this configuration are gone through in section "Network Connect".

50.5.1.4. Setup

You can save all settings made in this dialog as a file transfer setup. The setups are maintained in the dialog; there is no explicit handling of setup files.

To save a setup, type a name for it in the Name box and click Save. The setup is added in the list box.

To load a previously saved setup, select it in the list box and click Load.

To delete a setup, select it in the list box and click Delete.
