Hello people! I'm working on a project that part of it, is to send data that are collected in the PLC, via email to office. The PLC and HMI I use (NX1P2 and NB series),they do not support any email instruction, unfortunately.  To overcome this obstacle, I decided to forward those data (saved in .csv file) by using the FTPPutFile instruction and to upload the csv file from PLC to a dedicated folder to the office computer. PLC will be the client (passive) and the computer will be the server. And here is where I need your help.. The set up is offline by using a dummy ethernet switch. I set an IP address in the computer, as well as to the PLC side. If I set the PLC as a server (FTP server ->use -> port 21,pass & username), I can connect from the office computer to the PLC and download the file, by using cmd. When I try to use PLC as a client, Ftpputfile instruction always gives errorid 2407 and erroridex 00000226. In the FTPPutFile instruction box I set the following: ConnectSvr: IP address of PC, port 21, username & pass  SvrDirName: the physical path I set when I configured the FTP site on PC (C:\...) LocalDirName: '/' FileName: '.. .csv'    Further more, in the file explorer I type ftp:\\(IP address of PC), I log in but when I try to create a new folder 550 error is coming up (I suppose this is for permissions). Am I missing something? Do you have any suggestions/guide for making this work? I am not an IT and I am not experienced in that field so any help would be great!   Thanks! Man31
