FTP Server Functions

The XMC supports the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) through the built-in ethernet port. FTP is a TCP/IP based protocol designed for transferring and managing files from a remote site. The XMC Motion Controller acts as an FTP server and the computer connecting to it will be the client.

• The client can only access files on the SD memory card.

• Files may only be read from the FTP server. This is to prevent modifications to the files.

• See Chapter 14 of the XMC User manual for FTP response codes and supported console commands.

Warning: FTP password and user name are sent over clear text. Make sure to secure your network before enabling FTP.
