How to View Files Stored on In-Sight Device

If you use the WriteImage or WriteData function to write files to the In-Sight device or the SD card installed to the In-Sight device, you have to use FTP software, such as FileZilla Client, to view the stored files.

Note: The FTP client must support TLS 1.3.

Install FileZilla Client

  1. Go to the FileZilla website: filezilla-project.org.

  2. Download FileZilla Client. FileZilla Client allows you to transfer the files on the In-Sight device.

  3. Follow the wizard instructions to install FileZilla Client to the PC.

View Files Stored on In-Sight Device

Note: In this example, the version of the FileZilla Client is 3.46.3.
  1. Open FileZilla Client.

  2. Configure the following fields:

    • Host: Enter the host name or IP address of the In-Sight device.
    • Username: Enter the username of the In-Sight device.
    • Password: Enter the password.

  3. Click Quickconnect.

  4. You can now view the stored files.

    If you leave the File Path field blank, the files are saved to the root directory (Failed0.bmp, Failed0.svg and In-Sight.txt).

    If you configure to write the files to the SD card installed to the In-Sight device, the files are saved to the sdcard directory.

Create a Subfolder Using FileZilla Client

You can create a folder structure on the In-Sight device using FileZilla Client. If you want to separate images from text files or separate images/text files into a job-related directory, this is useful.

If you want to send images to a subfolder Job1 under the Images directory on the In-Sight device, follow these steps:

  1. On FileZilla Client, right-click on the Images directory and select Create directory. The Create directory dialog appears.

  2. In the dialog, enter /Job1, then click OK to create the directory named Job1.

    The Job1 subfolder is now available under the Images directory.

  3. On In-Sight ViDi Spreadsheet, connect to the In-Sight device.

  4. Open the WriteImage property sheet and enter Images/Job1 to the File Path field.

    Note: On the In-Sight device, the folder separator is the forward slash.
  5. Click OK to close the property sheet.

    Now the images are sent to the Job1 subfolder under the Images directory.
