Any FTP client installed on a computer that is connected to the controller (Ethernet or through USB port), without EcoStruxure Machine Expert installed, can be used to transfer files to and from the data storage area of the controller.
NOTE: Schneider Electric adheres to industry best practices in the development and implementation of control systems. This includes a "Defense-in-Depth" approach to secure an Industrial Control System. This approach places the controllers behind one or more firewalls to restrict access to authorized personnel and protocols only.
