### Transferring nwipe log files to a ftp server
Shredos uses the lftp application to transfer files to a remote server. To automatically transfer the nwipe log files on completion of all the wipes and after you have pressed a key to exit nwipe you will need to edit both grub.cfg files (/boot/grub/grub.cfg and /EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg) on the Shredos USB memory stick. In much the same way you you specify loadkeys or nwipe options which are described above, you edit the linux kernal command line and add the following lftp="open 192.168.1.60; user your-username your-password; cd data; mput nwipe_*.txt", changing the IP, username and password as required. As ftp does not encrypt data you should really only use it to transfer data on your local area network and not over the internet. sftp may be implemented at a future date if users request that feature. You can also manually use lftp on the command line (ALT-F2 or ALT-F3) if you prefer. I use this feature with a chrooted vsftpd ftp server on a Linux PC.

The automatic transfer of nwipe log files will be initiated on completion of all wipes and after pressing any key in nwipe to exit. The lftp status will be shown after the nwipe summary table.
**IMPORTANT**
- I would recommend you setup a new user account on the system that hosts your ftp server and only use that new user's account, username and password with Shredos. You don't want to use your own personal user account details as you will be placing those details on the Shredos USB storage device in a plain text format.
