● Relevant rows can be recognized by the "cpux" string (where x = characters "1−4"); this
applies to both areas.
Note the use of lower-case letters. Otherwise the files will not be recognized.
Use a text editor that does not create invisible control characters or save the data in
the TXT mode so that no invisible control characters are stored.
● Valid delimiters for the entries are "blanks".
● All other characters are interpreted as comment characters.
● The following applies to the file name of a file DB:
– Length: maximum 64 characters;
– Permitted characters: letters "A−Z,a−z"; digits "0−9", "_", "."
● Row length: maximum 256 characters
In the example shown here, the FTP command C:> PUT s7daten.txt cpu1db35 is used to
transfer the s7daten.txt file to DB35 (file DB) that must be located on CPU1.
