Hi,

Save the parameters in a .csf file and then ftp the file to the card. The parameters will be read, the .csf file will be deleted and the parameters will be in use. 

Example create a text file using notepad with these two lines

user -n apc -ts us

user -n apc -st 10

Save the file with the extension .csf  I use params.csf

ftp the file to the card.

Is the "apc" user special?  Or because "Super User"?  I created an "admin" account and I can use user -n admin -ts us just fine.

Hi,

There are certain settings that can only be changed via .csf or through the web for the super user.
