7.3. 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:
Figure

•
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.
