How to transfer u ser ﬁles using FTP

When the TG8000 generator is connected to an Ethernet network, you can use

an FTP client to drag and drop user ﬁles to or from the generator. Perform the

following steps to transfer ﬁles to or from the instrument using FTP:

1. Connect the TG8000 generator to your local Ethernet network. (See

page 2-48, How to connect the generator to a network.)

2. On a computer connected to the same network as the TG8000 generator, open

an FTP client such as Windows Explorer.

3. In the Windows Explorer command box, enter “ftp://IP address”, where IP

address is the network address assigned to the TG8000 generator.

NOTE. Some FTP clients may ask for login credentials. In this case, login with a

user name of “anonymous” and no password.
