Using FTP Commands Section 11-5
11-5 Using FTP Commands
This section describes the FTP commands which the host computer (FTP cli-
ent) can send to the FTP server of the EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP
port. The descriptions should also apply to most UNIX workstations, but slight
differences may arise. Refer to your workstation’s operation manuals for
details.
11-5-1 Table of Commands
The FTP commands which can be sent to the EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in Eth-
erNet/IP port are listed in the following table.
• The EtherNet/IP Unit or built-in EtherNet/IP port is considered to be the
remote host and the host computer (FTP client) is considered to be the
local host.
• A remote file is a file on the Memory Card or in EM File Memory in the
CPU Unit. A local file is one in the host computer (FTP client).
• The parent directory is the directory one above the working directory.
