FTP

The Ewon router features an FTP server.

This means that you have access to the files system of the Ewon router through any FTP clients (except Windows Explorer embedded FTP client).

Custom files must be downloaded/uploaded from/to the /usr/ folder of the Ewon router.
Some of the Ewon configuration files can be downloaded from the root folder.

For example: an Ewon router configuration file - comcfg.txt or config.txt - can be downloaded from the Ewon router, modified on your PC and finally uploaded back to the Ewon router.
The new parameters values are then applied on the fly without the need of a reboot (except for the modification of the Ewon LAN IP address and the memory configuration).

Here are some files that can be accessed through FTP:

  • config.txt : the application parameters of the Ewon router (R/W)
  • comcfg.txt : the communication parameters of the Ewon router (R/W)
  • program.bas : the whole BASIC script code implemented in the Ewon router (R/W)
  • ircall.bin : binary file containing the whole historical logging in binary format (RO)
  • irc_.txt : the historical logging of the associated Ewon tags in csv format. (RO)
  • ewonfwr.edf : the Ewon firmware file, used to upgrade firmware (WO)
  • dewonfwr.edf : the Ewon firmware file, used to downgrade firmware (WO)
  • var_lst.txt/.csv : the list of all Ewon tags in csv format (R/W)
  • ...

The FTP protocol is also used to access the /usr/ directory of the Ewon router. This directory can contain any files such as text files or web files. For more information, check the Custom Webpage section.
