    Just curious, if RS232 is working, why do you want to use the ethernet connecton? The Fanuc end is archaic and a royal PITA, IMHO.

    Anyway, if you must, you'll need a FTP Client running on a PC. I've used WS-FTP at a couple of shops. It's available at:

    Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send a document with instructions.
