Do the FTP function blocks change the format of a Window's file to Unix?

Does either the IT_Library or PLCnextBase, allow the FTP function blocks to transfer files using ASCII so that a windows file will be transformed into a Unix text format that is appropriate for the host, in this case, the AXC F 2152?

Hello Josh, the PLCnextBase Library does not transcode the files. The PBCL_FileCopyFtp function block is based on the curl package call equivalent to curl --silend -u : -T Kind Regards

Thanks. Any idea if the IT_Library transcodes the files?

Any update on whether or not the IT_Library transcodes the files?

Hi Josh, Sorry for the delay. The short version of the answer from the developer of the IT_Library is, unfortunately, “no”. With the release of the latest version of the PLCnextBase library in the PLCnext Store, you now have the possibility to call Linux commands - including curl - from PLCnext Engineer, so this will probably help. ~ Martin.
