Resolution
The Firmware V2.2.1 release has moved a step closer towards making our meters more secure.
This firmware supports SFTP and SSH. Secure file transfer protocol (SFTP), completely replacing FTP. SFTP adds a layer of encryption, through secure Socket shell (SSH) replacing telnet, that helps prevent unauthorized access, uploads and downloads to the meter. The support of FTP and Telnet is removed.

The support of FTP and Telnet is removed.

Use WinSCP for SFTP connection.
