FTP Client
The built-in EtherNet/IP port contains an FTP client. With it, you can use FTP client communications
instructions to transfer files between the CPU Unit and host computers on Ethernet.
This makes it possible to exchange data files between a host computer and the Controller with the
Controller as the FTP client and the host computer as the FTP server.
