Transferring Files

The Micro Webserver has its own file transfer and management utility called the File Transfer Utility.This program runs under Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.x only. If you are running any other operating system, you must use a native FTP client (such as Fetch on the Macintosh). You can access the File Transfer Utility from the Cisco home page or the Cisco Micro Webserver program group on the Start menu. Topics in this section include:
