1.7 Connection to the network through FTPserver
The FTP protocol permits transferring files between a PC and a CNC
connected to a local network or to internet. The FTP client, in charge
of managing the transfer, must be installed at the PC. The interface
depends on the FTP client being used.
The CNC must be configured just like another node within the local
network or must have an internet connection. For that, it must have
the Ethernet option.
From the PC, it is possible to access the CNC by knowing its IP
address. Only the hard disk of the CNC may be accessed. In other
words, it won't be possible to access the RAM or CARDA nor read
variables, tables, etc. The CNC files cannot be modified directly either.
First copy them to the PC, modify them and copy them to the CNC.
When accessing the CNC from a PC via FTP, it shows the following
directory structure.
Although the user may create new directories through the FTP, only
the programs contained in the "PRG" directory may be seen from the
CNC.
If the CNC does not have a hard disk, it will show the directory empty
and it will not allow sending any program.
The PC operative system may be Windows, Linux or Unix.
Windows
®
includes an FTP client in its Internet Explorer application
from version 5.x on. From Windows
®
version 98 on, the windows
explorer has its own integrated FTP client.
