the problem is I don't find much documentation on MOL to do this. There's little information in the Help on Line of the MBG. Have a look, maybe you understand something that I don't.
MCD Support
MBG contains an FTP server which you can use to store MCD backup files and software loads.
You can use the software files to perform MCD system upgrades, and the backup files to perform MCD system restores.
FTP Server Access Parameters
To connect to the FTP server on MBG, enter the following settings in the MCD or FTP client:
Parameter

Path
The path to the directory on the FTP server where the database files are stored.

The product folder is always named "MCD-3300".
