FTP push?

alexsanchez · January 28, 2020, 4:35pm

Hello, I have two PLCnexts in a network. I can use Profinet to communicate between them, but is it possible to do FTP push and pull operations? To grab a text file from one PLC to the other? Any links to some documentation? Thanks

Hello, If both devices are on the same network, then you can use sftp or simply scp to transfer files. Hope this helps. ~ Martin.

Thanks Martin, I am not sure how to invoke the sftp form inside my LD code. Do you have an example? Thanks

Ah, sorry, I didn’t realise that this related to PLCnext Engineer. I have moved this thread to the “PLCnext Engineer” topic, and I will check with our experts in that area. ~ Martin.

Hi Alex, The IT Library in the PLCnext Store includes FTP function blocks that can be used in a LD program. For help with the function blocks in this library, please use the “contact developer” button on the top right of the page in the Store (you must be logged in to see that button). ~ Martin.
