FTP .rtexe files to a Filedpoint controller over the internet

[Scott93535]

Hello, I have a Fieldpoint cFP-2100 operating a generator in Detroit, MI and I am in California.  Is there a way I can FTP updated .rtexe files to the controller via the internet.  Also, I would like the be able to change the layout of a remote panel and be able to recieve data on the updated panel via the internet.  Can someone please tell me if there is a knowledge base solution to this?

Thanks
Scott

To answer your first question, yes you can update the startup.exe via ftp, but first
you have to rename the existing startup.exe something else; you can't directly overwrite
it or delete it.  After renaming, ftp in the new file, optionally delete the old, renamed one,
and reboot.

Some articles on remote panels:

Also be careful about exposing the Fieldpoint node to the open internet; I don't think
it is appropriately hardened for direct internet access.
