Optional FTP Plugin
With the free
optional to install FTP plugin, dnc4U can communicate
direct with many CNCs that support Ethernet TCP/IP FTP transfers as an FTP server. This means that you can
transfer files to and from your CNC at very much faster speeds
than using RS232 serial. In addition you can send and receive
using FTP to your external file storage on a remote computer
or webspace. This is Ethernet FTP file transfer, it does not mean that you can simply plug dnc4U into your newer CNC Ethernet port and see your computer network to transfer files, that is not how it works.
Please Note: This is a free no cost add-in the to the main dnc4U program - it is no longer supported
You should first of all install dnc4U, then install the FTP
plugin. It is a pre-requisite that you install into the same
folder as you originally installed dnc4U so that it can be
found. You will then see the FTP tab enabled on the dnc4U
properties page.
One of the most powerful aspects of the FTP plugin is dnc4U's
ability to perform DNC transfers simultaneously to your CNC
machines. (The standard dnc4U system is single transfer at
a time). You can have up to 64 ftp sessions active and talk
to all 64 simultaneously, although the more DNC you have the
more resources and more powerful PC/Memory is required.
Note: This is FTP transfer not the more secure SFTP available on more modern CNCs
