To continue setting up your local FTP server on

Troubleshooting Your Local FTP Server
Installation.
If you followed the instructions above and still cannot
access your new local FTP server, try the following:
1 Using the Registry Editor, copy the value of the field
URL under the key:
HKLM\Software\Hewlett-Packard
\Toptools\CoreComponents\RMDB
\Desktop PCs
Then paste the value into your web browser's
Address window. Check what is downloaded.
2 If this works correctly, you should receive a text file
containing a single line of text such as:
8 FULL http://<myserver>
and
/<path>/TOPTOOLSRMDB.exe
3 Copy the last field of this line (the URL http://..etc..)
and download the file it references by pasting the
and
URL in the browser's address window. This should
download an executable file.
File
4 If one of the tests in steps 1-3 fails, then it is very
likely that the local FTP server is not installed
correctly. You should check the section on "Setting
Up Your Local FTP Server" above.
5 If all of the steps above work but you still have an
access problem, check that the proxy settings in your
web browser's configuration for you as a user, are
the same as the proxy settings configured for
Toptools Device Manager. Use the Toptools Device
Manager command
Settings > Internet and E-mail
and check the settings specified there.
