The panel with methods for FTP file transfer (upload/download)
This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by
"New object ..." in the context menu of the object or by pressing the
Insert key after selecting the object).
This preconfiguration is included in the
"/ Communication / Protocols and other communications / FTP communication protocol" group.
This preconfiguration can be created in the
PmaFolder,
PmaRoot or
PmaPrototype object.
- The preconfiguration creates an object of the
PmaPanel type containing the
FTPdownload and
FTPsend methods. These have the
sDir,
sLocalFile,
sRemoteFile parameters. The window contains the
PmgWEdit objects used for entering the folder address containing the desired files on the FTP server, the address and filename of the file on local disk and the name of the target saved file. Additional objects are the
PmgButton, that provide the
FTPdownload or
FTPsend methods in the
onButtonUp event with the specified values and then the desired files are uploaded/downloaded from/to the FTP server.
- This preconfiguration demands usage of external ActiveX object. This object can be sent to you on demand, contact:
Ing. Petr NÁVRAT.
- In a window that appears before the object is created, it is necessary to enter the information needed for FTP connection configuration.
- The preconfiguration is created including the panel (object of the
PmaPanel type) is functional also as
Web panel. In order to make the preconfiguration functional also on the Web, it is necessary to enable the object of the
PmaPanel type for the Web (on the "
Web server" tab).
The technology used is running in a synchronous mode, therefore it is recommended to call the file transfer methods in a real PROMOTIC application from the
PmaSequencer object.
These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:
| The name of created object | Name of the object created in the Pma object tree.
The maximum name length is 30 characters.
This is a system name, so it must contain only alphanumeric and must not contain any diacritics (i.e. national dependent characters), empty string, spaces and first character must not be a number.
