The remote FTP service is a FTP client used to periodically push data to an external FTP server. Its configuration is available in the Remote FTP tab under the Services menu.

The FTP client periodically generates csv files with the received data. These csv files are stored on the gateway. The first time the remote FTP server can be reached, all the stored csv files are uploaded to the server and are then deleted from SPN. After that, the csv files are uploaded/deleted at each begining of hour/day/week/month.

The Received data backup panel is used to configure how often new csv files are generated and how often they are uploaded to the server.

The Remote FTP panel is used to configure the access to the FTP server.

1. Make sure that the Enable check box is checked.
2. In the Host field, set the IP address of the FTP server. Only IP address can be used.
3. In the Port field, set the port of the remote ftp (default: 21).
4. In the User and Password fields, set the username and password of the remote ftp server. To connect as anonymous user, the user field must be field with anonymous and the Password fields needs to be empty.
5. In the Directory field, set the remote path where you want to save the files (must start and end with a / symbol, default is /).
