Part 1 – AT Commands for All Universal IP Devices

Chapter 4 – FTP AT Commands

#FTPGET – Download Files from FTP Server

Description:

This command, sent by the attached host, directs the TCP/IP stack to connect to the specified

 

FTP server and to retrieve the specified file from this server. Once the operation is completed, the

 

TCP/IP stack closes the FTP connection.

 

Once an IP link is established, the attached host can retrieve a file from an FTP server at any

 

time (except when the TCP/IP stack software is already in a process using TCP resources).

 

This command is similar to a GET operation (with an automatic connect/disconnect) issued by a

 

standard FTP client on a PC. The TCP/IP stack handles the global FTP process by itself.

 

Note: The TCP/IP stack will signal the attached host of the end of the file that is being

 

downloaded with a single <ETX> character. The <ETX> characters that are part of the file data

 

will be shielded as <DLE><ETX>. The <DLE> characters that are part of the file data will be

 

shielded as <DLE><DLE>. The attached host will need to remove the shielding <DLE>

 

characters.

Syntax:

AT#FTPGET

Values:

FTPGETFILENAME

 

FTPGETPATH

 

FTPPORT

 

FTPSERV

 

FTPTYPE

 

FPTMODE

 

FTPPW

 

FTPUN

 

FTPFILESIZE

#FTPPUT – Upload Files to FTP Server

Description:

This command sent by the attached host directs the TCP/IP stack to connect to the specified FTP

 

server and to upload the data received on the serial port to the specified file on this server. Once

 

the operation is completed, the TCP/IP stack closes the FTP connection.

 

Once an IP link is established, the attached host can send a file to a FTP server at any time

 

(except when the TCP/IP stack software is already in a process using TCP resources).

 

This command is similar to a PUT operation (with an automatic connect/disconnect) issued by a

 

standard FTP client on a PC. The TCP/IP stack handles the global FTP put process by itself.

 

Note: The TCP/IP stack will interpret only an <ETX> character as the end of the file to be

 

transferred if it’s not preceded by a <DLE> character. As a consequence, the attached host must

 

send <ETX> characters preceded by <DLE> characters, and it must also code <DLE> characters

 

as <DLE><DLE>.

Syntax:

AT#FTPPUT

Values:

FTPPUTFILENAME

 

FTPDIR

 

FTPPORT

 

FTPSERV

 

FTPTYPE

 

FTPMODE

 

FTPPW

 

FTPUN

 

No default
