Fanuc automated backups

If you want to DIY, you can write script or program that creates the directories then runs the ftp script.

Once you have the script written, use windows task scheduler to fire it occasionally.

I assume you are programming on a Windows PC. In that case you can go the route of writing a script (Batch, Powershell, Vbscript) or you can write a .NET application (C# or VB). Then you can choose to use the command line FTP script method or the .NET FTPWebRequest method in your script/program. This doesn't require any add on's such as WinSCP.

For quick and easy I recommend writing a script. Doesn't require any extra software and once you learn how to use it, it won't take long.

We are using the backup tool from onerobotics. Its free.

You need to use the CMD code to write the FTP script to a text file, then you can call the FTP script. Here is an example:

echo anon>ftp.txt
echo bin>>ftp.txt
echo prompt>>ftp.txt
echo lcd !myfolder!>>ftp.txt
echo mget *.*>>ftp.txt
echo quit>>ftp.txt
ftp -v -s:ftp.txt !RobotIPaddress!
del ftp.txt

The Echo command with the > will write the next bit of text to to the specified text file. > creates the file and >> appends text. Then the ftp -s: command runs the specified text file as an ftp script. Finally I delete the ftp.txt file. The words surrounded by exclamation points ! are variables that get written to the text file as the value. so you can target a different folder and ip address. This way I can generate a unique ftp script each time to target a different local directory and robot IP address.

I recommend ss64.com for information on using the ftp and the CMD language.
