Hello,

We are working with an Inexbot controller. We have created a processor for it and we can send program to robot via SFTP connection. However, explore button still directs to FTP connection and we couldn't find to how to edit it.

Could you please help us about it?

Best regards,

Barış

No matter what we enter for port number, it is going with 21 and can't connect.

Best regards,

Barış

If your controller only supports SFTP protocol you should update the post processor to use SFTP protocol and not FTP.

Can you share your post processor? We can better take a look.

We have edited UploadFTP to work with SFTP, we can right click and send program to robot but couldn't manage to make Explore button work.

What happens when you select the Explore button? It should open FileZilla or the FTP client you selected.

What error messages do you see?

It is going with port 21 and can't connect because of it.

I recommend you to setup a new connection in FileZilla.

You can follow these steps to transfer a file through FTP or SFTP using FileZilla:

1. Open FileZilla Client. Alternatively, right click your robot and select Connect, then, select Explore. FileZilla Client will open (the software to transfer FTP files).
   
2. Select File-Site Manager...
   
3. Enter the IP of the robot
   
4. Enter port 22 if the robot requires an SFTP connection.
   
5. Select Connect
   
6. Transfer the required program files
   

Alternatively, you can use the File Manager Add-in which allows you to transfer files in a similar manner:

Even though we enter 22 as port number, it is being entered as 21 and trying to connect via FTP.

We couldn't find to related part that causes this behavior.

How should we update our post processor to use SFTP instead of FTP like in Universal Robots' post processors?

You should connect from FileZilla directly. Do not use the Explore option in the robot connection menu. 

More precisely you should follow these steps:

1. Select Tools-Open FTP client. This will open the FileZilla client.
   
2. In FileZilla, select File-Site Manager...
   
3. Enter the IP of the robot
   
4. Enter port 22 if the robot requires an SFTP connection.
   
5. Select Connect
   
6. Transfer the required program files manually.
