Codesys 3.5.21.3 using WebVisu on a CC-100. I have a client that is hoping that he can download a recipe from my recipe manager in one PLC and upload it to another. The two PLCs are not on the same network. My research is pointing me to using a button in WebVisu with a file transfer command. But I’m not having any luck with this working. Here is a screenshot to further clarify what I have setup: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/wago/original/2X/9/915c3e45a2b4d9948fca3282b0cc7ab0f062df1c.png) When running the command, I get an error code of 7. I was pointed to something that says that the Linux running on the CC-100 requires a line or two added to the CODESYSControl.cfg file in order to change some security settings for file transfers. Here are the lines I added to no avail (every change I’ve made still results in error code 7): CmpWebServerHandlerV3 AllowFileTransferServices=1 CallVisuServiceDirectly=0 CmpWSServer AllowFileTransferServices=1 This might be completely the wrong approach and there might be a better/easier way. I don’t love having to edit the .cfg file for every PLC I program but if that’s the only way, so be it. I know that it’s possible to maybe do this using FTP but my clients need something much simpler and intuitive. FTP would be way above the common users’ abilities. ---

Hello, Depending on the FW number the place have changed. First, Look in those files: > /etc/codesys3.d/CmpWSServer.cfg > /etc/codesys3.d/CODESYSControl.cfg > /etc/codesys3.d/RtsCore.cfg if you have the line: > AllowFileTransferServices=0 Next if you found the line, change the 0 to 1, save it and reboot the PLC. If you don’t have the line search for the header: > [CmpWebServerHandlerV3] If you find the header, add > AllowFileTransferServices=1 after the header, If you don’t have the header, in the file > /etc/codesys3.d/CODESYSControl.cfg add > [CmpWebServerHandlerV3] > AllowFileTransferServices=1 And restart the PLC. After you have done this you will need the right function blocks in the project. Here is the official sample program from codesys: > **[CODESYS Forge - Visu File Transfer Example / Home / Home](https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/visu-file-trans/home/Home/)** > > Transfer files between a CODESYS PLC and the CODESYS web visualization ---

This worked great. This is essentially what I was doing but apparently there is a /etc/codesys3.d/CODESYSControl\_User.cfg file and that is where it needed the line added. I had found a CODESYSControl.cfg in a home directory and made the change but I’m guess that the CODESYSControl\_User.cfg file in the etc directory overrides whatever is in the other file. Thanks for the help! It got me to where I needed to be.
