FTP ACCESS TO A PC

This function enables centralization of the VAL3 applications on a PC (backup on a CD, just one storage location,
etc).
To do so, it is necessary for an FTP server to be executed on the PC to share a directory containing the VAL3
applications. Stäubli supplies the free Cesar FTP server enabling this functionality but cannot be held responsible
in the event of incorrect use of the software. To install the server, see paragraph 7.3.1.
Configuration of an FTP node on the MCP
On the home page of the application, press the key of the "Ftp" pop-up menu to move on to the next page:
• The name enables you to give the FTP connection a name.
• The IP address corresponds to the IP address of the PC on which the FTP server is executed.
• The path corresponds to the shared directory on the FTP server. With Cesar FTP, if the shared directory is
c:\temp\VAL3\apps, enter only \apps.
• The user corresponds to the user name created on the FTP server
• The login password must correspond to the FTP user password (Be careful with upper and lower case letters).
Once the parameters have been entered, validate the page using "OK". In the applications opening page, there
is now a new node corresponding to the FTP server that has just been created. The applications that can be seen
in this node are used in the same way as local VAL3 applications.
Note:
To enable a backup of the applications, the Ftp connection must be conserved. However, it is not
necessary to run the application.
