Open FTP

Provide FTP access to folders and files on target computer

Description

The SimulinkRealTime.openFTP object provides FTP access to folders and files on the target computer.

Creation

ftp_object = SimulinkRealTime.openFTP() constructs and returns the FTP object corresponding to the default target computer. If you have only one target computer or if you designate a target computer as the default target computer in your system, use this form.

ftp_object = SimulinkRealTime.fileSystem(target_object) constructs and returns the file system object corresponding to the target computer that is accessible by target_object.

ftp_object = SimulinkRealTime.fileSystem(target_name) constructs and returns the file system object corresponding to the target computer that is accessible by target_name.

The SimulinkRealTime.openFTP function accepts these arguments:

• target_object — Object representing target computer.

  Object that represents the target computer. Before calling this function, make sure that you start the target computer with the Simulink^® Real-Time™ kernel and apply the required Ethernet link settings.

• target_name — Name assigned to target computer.

• ftp_object — Object representing the target computer for FTP access.

  FTP object created by using the SimulinkRealTime.openFTP creation function.

  The FTP object supports FTP access to the target computer file system. You work with the target computer file system from the development computer by using FTP methods.

Create FTP Object for Target Computer by Object

Create an FTP object for target computer by object tg, select the C:\ drive on the target computer, and return current folder information.

tg = SimulinkRealTime.target('TargetPC1');
TargetPC1Drive = SimulinkRealTime.openFTP(tg);
cd(TargetPC1Drive, 'C:\');
cd(TargetPC1Drive)

ans =

    'C:\'

Create FTP Object for Target Computer by Name

Create an FTP object for target computer by name TargetPC2, select the C:\ drive on the target computer, and return current folder information.

TargetPC2Drive = SimulinkRealTime.openFTP('TargetPC2');
cd(TargetPC2Drive, 'C:\');
cd(TargetPC2Drive)

ans =

    'C:\'
