Overview

With an FTP client, it is possible to transfer files between the memory card in the Modicon M340 PLC (with an embedded Ethernet port connection), a destination, and/or a source such as a hard drive or server.

Any FTP client installed on your computer may be used. We recommend using Filezilla or Microsoft Explorer.

You can transfer:

  • data files used by the memory card file management EFBs

  • web pages used by the HTTP server

  • personal files that are useful for your project

NOTE: Downloading write-protected files to the memory card can prevent the Automation Device Maintenance software from properly upgrading the module. Some FTP clients (for example, the Windows Explorer client) cannot remove write-protected files from the card. You can delete write-protected files from the card with some FTP clients (for instance, FileZilla) that are available for free download over the Internet.
