FileTransfer2
Virtual NetLinx Master connections can be used to transfer TPDesign4 panel (.TP4) file,
NetLinx Firmware (.KIT) files, or IR Files directly to G4 touch panels.
USB direct transfers require that you configure the Master Connection setting on the
panel itself to USB prior to attempting the transfer.
TCP/IP direct transfers require that you configure the Master Connection setting on the
panel itself to TCP/IP prior to attempting the transfer.
