🧾 Description
This article provides instructions for enabling and configuring the built-in FTP server on Datalogic Memor X3 devices running Windows CE. FTP allows file transfers between the device and a remote computer over a TCP/IP network using the WLAN interface.
Environment
- Device: Datalogic Memor X3
Operating System: Windows CE
Connection Type: WLAN
Tool: Built-in FTP Server
Prerequisites
- A working WLAN connection on the Memor X3.
Access to a PC with ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center for file transfer.
A text editor to create a .reg file.
🛠️ Resolution Steps
Create the Registry File
Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad) on your PC.
Paste the following content into the file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\FTPD]
"DefaultDir"="\\"
"AllowAnonymousUpload"=dword:00000001
"UseAuthentication"=dword:00000000
"BaseDir"="\\"
"IsEnabled"=dword:00000001
"LogSize"=dword:00001000
"DebugOutputMask"=dword:00000017
"DebugOutputChannels"=dword:00000002
"IdleTimeout"=dword:0000012c
"AllowAnonymous"=dword:00000001
"AllowAnonymousVroots"=dword:00000001
Save the file with a .reg extension (e.g., EnableFTP.reg).
Transfer the File to the Device
- Use ActiveSync or WMDC to copy the .reg file to the Memor X3.
Apply the Registry Settings
- On the Memor X3, locate and launch the .reg file to apply the settings.
Perform a Warm Boot
- Restart the device by performing a warm boot to activate the FTP server.
Connect via FTP
- On your PC, open File Explorer or an FTP client.
In the address bar or FTP client, enter the IP address of the Memor X3 (e.g., ftp://192.168.1.100).
You should now be connected to the device’s file system via FTP.
Additional Notes
- This configuration enables anonymous access. For secure environments, consider enabling authentication.
Ensure the device remains connected to the WLAN network for FTP access.
