A SCRIPT program generated from RoboDK (such as by pressing F6) can be transferred to the robot using a USB disk or by FTP transfer if the robot and the computer are connected.

It is recommended to install FileZilla Client on the default path or directly inside the RoboDK install folder so that it is detected automatically by RoboDK:

C:\RoboDK\FileZilla FTP Client\

To transfer a file through FTP:

1.Right click a robot, select Connect to robot... and select Explore. FileZilla Client will open (software for FTP transfer).

2.Select File➔Site Manager...

3.Enter the IP of the robot (192.168.1.66 in this example).

4.Enter the port (21 for FTP and 22 for SFTP)

5.Enter the Protocol: by default, the file transfer protocol is FTP. However, UR controllers only support SFTP.

6.Enter the user name (default for UR is: root)

7.Enter the password (default for UR is: easybot)

8.Select Connect.

9.Transfer the SCRIPT file previously generated to the robot.

The SCRIPT programs are usually stored in the folder /Programs/ on the robot controller.

Note: You should change the communication port to 22 if your controller only accepts SFTP connections.
