![]() The logger could be set up with its own FTP server address, so that Backup Box could draw directly from the logger. Backup box would accept FTP data that is pushed directly to it from the logger, and then pass it onto Dropbox upon receiving it, You have a few options for launching here. I would still have to set up an FTP server to push the data to from the logger, which I could then use as the source connection in backup box, From the Google Cloud Platform Console, select Compute Engine > VM Instances: From here, you can select 'Create Instance' to launch a new one. Choose Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from the Version list. ![]() On the Public images tab, choose Ubuntu from the Operating system list. In the Boot disk section, click Change to begin configuring your boot disk. As I see it there are three possibilities: In the Google Cloud console, go to the Create an instance page. However, after a quick look it seems as though backup box is purely a data channel, drawing data from an ftp server address and passing it directly onto the destination without storing it. The second option seems like it may be easier to set up with the security restrictions that I am having to work around. ![]() However, if I could set it up, am I correct in thinking that the files would then be sent directly to the computer (eliminating the dropbox step altogether)? Would this be done with a program such as FileZilla, or is there another way of setting it up? I suspect the first option would be rather difficult with my work network's security settings. Using a cloud server was simply an intermediate step that I thought might simplify the process. I should clarify one point from my previous post: The end goal of my query is to find a way to get the data downloaded onto my work computer. If Dropbox could be used as an FTP destination it would be exceedingly convenient, as I could then use it as an intermediary, and use the Dropbox program to regularly download new data to my computer and sync it with previously downloaded data.Īny help with this would be greatly appreciated. This got me thinking about whether a cloud server like Dropbox could be used as an FTP destination? I have seen other references to FTP setup (), but they don't specify whether or not there is a specific 'FTP compatibility' requirement in the destination IP address that is listed. A colleague mentioned using FTP to push the data to a server automatically, but didn't know the finer details of it. At present to download data from the sites I need to manually dial in via a modem (at present we are using Maxon Intermax modems with data enabled sim cards) and then download the data - this has become something of a weekly chore. I am currently working with a series of remote stations that are running off CR1000's. ![]()
