Example: The following example illustrates an FTP sequence defined in a global script that is run from a schedule. The sequence starts with an
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT command, to ensure that, in the event that an FTP command fails, the next statement will execute. Every time the
global script is run by the schedule, VMX300(-E) executes every statement, including any statement that failed the last time it was run.
Image captures in this sequence are taken between 5 AM and 7 AM only. The schedule that runs the global script controls how frequently the
sequence is run. The schedule’s script is
RUN FTP_Sequence

DELETE AN FTP SITE
Deleting an FTP site is irreversible. If you delete an FTP site and then change your mind, you must add it as a new FTP site.
1. Navigate the Object Browser to [project name] > FTP Sites. In the right pane, right-click the FTP site you want to delete and select Delete
from the pop-up menu. The Confirm dialog box opens.
2. If you are sure you want to delete the FTP site, click Yes. The selected FTP site is deleted and the Confirm dialog box closes. The deleted
FTP site disappears from the Object Browser.
TIPS:
•If you are going to take regular, scheduled FTP image captures, it is recommended that you employ a dedicated FTP computer that is
isolated from routine daily operations. This ensures that an operator will not shut down the client by mistake, which would cause FTP
captures to fail.
•To control FTP captures, define objects that are dedicated to FTP. Create a dedicated user account that is always logged in. If the FTP
commands are in a schedule, make the dedicated user the recipient of the schedule. Add a window to the dedicated client that is only
used for FTP image capture. These steps ensure that you know exactly where the image capture is taking place, as well as preventing
operators from being interrupted in their routine duties.
