Chapter 32 FTP Server Application

This document discusses using FTP Server to backup and update historical data and recipe data on an HMI. It provides an overview of FTP Server and steps to log in. Key points include logging in with the username "uploadhis" and default password "111111". Once logged in, the datalog, eventlog, and recipe folders can be accessed to backup or update history and recipe files, though files cannot be deleted. The HMI must be rebooted within a minute of updating recipes for the changes to take effect.
