11-1 Using the FTP Client to Transfer Files
You can use the FTP client to transfer files between the FTP client and an FTP server. You can transfer
files in either direction: download data from the FTP server to the FTP client or upload data from the
FTP client to the FTP server.
Version Information
A CPU Unit with unit version 1.08 or later is required to use the FTP client.
11-1-1 Transferring Files
All file transfers that use the FTP client are executed with FTP client communications instructions in the
user program. The file transfer settings are all made with the parameters of the FTP client communica-
tions instructions. No settings are required from the Sysmac Studio.
The FTP client communications instructions and their functions are given in the following table. You can
execute up to three FTP client communications instructions at the same time.
