File Transfer Client

The File Transfer Client allows you to copy files and/or folders in both directions between your Workbench PC and a remote platform. You can also use it to delete files and folders.

The File Transfer Client is useful to copy graphics images to a controller, or to copy a text file from a User Home folder on a remote controller (say, ~etc/system.properties) to your local PC, to allow editing. Then use the File Transfer Client to copy the edited version back to the controller’s ~etc folder.

CAUTION: Be careful when using the File Transfer Client, especially when copying files to a target platform, or when using the delete (X) control. In either direction, when transferring a file and an identically-named file already exists or if deleting a file, a popup window confirms the action. After confirmation there is no Undo.

Do not use the File Transfer Client to copy modules to a controller, as runtime profile types are not applied, nor are module dependencies. Incorrect or missing modules may result. Always use the platform Software Manager to install (or uninstall) software modules on a controller.
