File System
The file system is a fixed-size storage area with a hierarchical directory structure. Files can be grouped
in directories for readability. The file system features two security levels. Depending on security level,
different users can have access to different files and directories. The file system is accessible via FTP
and TELNET.
Case Sensitivity
The file system is case sensitive.
File Name / Path Name Length
File names can be a maximum of 48 characters long. Path names can be 256
characters in length, including the file name.
File Size
The file size is not restricted. Naturally, a file cannot be larger than the available
space (see below).
Free Space
There is approximately 1.4 MB available for user files.
