HS-8 Network function (FTP, Telnet and VNC) details FTP (file transfer protocol) By using an FTP client application, you can transfer files between this unit and a computer. Connect to this unit and login in the same way as with other FTP servers. After connecting and logging in, "A:" and "B:" will appear in the root directory. These correspond to the unit's CF1 and CF2 slots. If the corresponding slot does not contain a card, the "A:" or "B:" will appear empty. NOTE ii To display Japanese, use an FTP application that supports Unicode. ii Always set the maximum number of simultaneous transfers of the FTP client application to "1". If not set to "1" files cannot be transferred properly. ii For information about FTP client applications that have been confirmed to work properly with this unit, please contact TASCAM customer support.
