8.3.4 Synergy FTP Server

Introduction

This Synergy Controller features an FTP server. With the FTP server feature, chamber profiles or recipes

(VPL files) can be copied to and from the controller, deleted from the controller or renamed, all over the

network. In addition the history log file can be retrieved from the controller over the network.

FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging and manipulating files over any TCP-based

computer network. A FTP client may connect to a FTP server to manipulate files on that server.

Note that the Synergy Controller FTP feature described here may not be available on all controllers. Contact

the factory to find out if your controller supports this feature. Controller upgrades are available.

Accessing the Synergy Controllers’ FTP Server

The FTP server can be accessed both using an FTP client such as Internet Explorer (IE) or

programmatically. The examples below use the first method.

Accessing the controller’s FTP server programmatically is beyond the scope of this application note however

many application environments support this capability including .NET and LabVIEW. In Microsoft .NET 2.0

for example, you can now programmatically access FTP servers using the FtpWebRequest and

FtpWebResponse managed classes.

To access the Synergy Controllers FTP server using IE, first configure the controller network properties from

the COMM Screen’s Ethernet folder as shown below:
