• (Bivio 7000 Platform) The FTP account name is 'admin'.
• (Linux Server Platform) The FTP account name is 'smb'.

The FTP server requires an Active Mode FTP client. For example, the Windows command line ftp.exe utility supports Active Mode. It is also possible to use Windows Explorer or other browsers in FTP mode.

Before you browse to the FTP folder in Windows Explorer for the first time, configure active mode:

2. Verify that the following Internet Explorer settings are set correctly:
   • Enable the 'Enable FTP Folder View (Outside of Internet Explorer)' setting.
   • Disable the 'Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL Modem compatibility)' setting.

You can now log on to your FTP server.

Follow these steps:

1. Do one of the following
   • Start an FTP client.
   • Open the Windows Explorer.
2. Replace name by your FTP account name, and replace NBA by your NBA's URL or IP address, and connect to the FTP server:

   ftp://name@NBA
   

   Note: If you used the 'Open folder in Windows Explorer' option from Internet Explorer, you may need to re-enter this URL in the Windows Explorer address bar.
