Installing Applications Using the FTP Server
The mobile computer has a built-in FTP server that connects to a
network through Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g/n, or WAN (Wireless Access
Network). You can use the server to transfer your application file to the
computer. Because you can create FTP scripts to automate the process
of copying files to the computer, this option is useful when you need
to send files to a large number of computers. The easiest way to
manage the FTP server is to enable the FTP menu within iConnect.
To enable the FTP server:
• Create this DWORD registry key and set it to a value of 1:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Setting
s
\ShowFTPMenu
The iFTP menu is available the next time you start iConnect.
To manage the state of the FTP server, modify these existing registry
keys where 1 = enable and 0 = disable:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings
\FtpAutoStart
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\iConnect2\IConnect\Settings
\FtpHeartbeat
Launching Applications Automatically
There are two ways to launch an application automatically on a cold
boot:
• Set up your .cab file to place a shortcut to the application in the
\Windows\StartUp directory at install time.
• Use AutoRun.exe to start your application at boot time. AutoRun
ships on the computer and automates other operations.
At boot time, AutoRun executes any commands found in its data file,
AutoRun.dat. Follow the next procedure to create this data file for
your mobile computer.
For more information on AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer
Library Resource Kit Developer’s Guide.
