Using WinSCP to log into the PBX

To retrieve call reports from the PBXtra for archival purposes:

1. First the root name and password must be set on the PBXtra .  For details, see:
   What is the root password for my server?

2. Once the root password is set the user must connect into the PBXtra
   from another location.  This is accomplished using an application such
   as WinSCP freely available at:

http://winscp.net/eng/index.<wbr/>php

3. Once this application is installed on another computer on the same
   local network, the user must connect into the PBXtra using the IP
   address of the PBXtra and logging in using the root password that was

   1. Create a directory/folder on local computer

   2. Connect to the PBXtra

How are files named?

The files in the directory are named like this:

Master.csv.1114459934

The file named ‘Master.csv’ is the ACTIVE file, and should not be
opened and read. If you try to read the active file, it may change
while you are reading it. The Master.csv.xxxxxxxxxx files are the
INACTIVE files that have already been rotated by the system on a 5
minute interval, and will no longer change. The integer string on the
end of the filename represents the UNIX time that the file was
rotated. This is the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1, 1970. You
can convert this to a human readable date using the website:
