FTP and File System Objects
The xPC Target software uses two objects, xpctarget.ftp and xpctarget.fs (file
system), to work with files on a target PC. You use the xpctarget.ftp object
to perform file transfer operations between the host and target PC.
You use the xpctarget.fs object to access the target
PC file system. For example, you can use an xpctarget.fs object
to open, read, and close a signal data file created by an xPC Target file scope.
Note
This feature provides FTP-like commands, such as get and put.
However, it is not a standard FTP implementation. For example, the
software does not support the use of a standard FTP client. |
To create an xpctarget.ftp object, use the
FTP object constructor function xpctarget.ftp.
In the MATLAB Command Window, type
f = xpctarget.ftp
The xPC Target software uses a file system object on the
host PC to represent the target PC file system. You use file system
objects to work with that file system from the host PC.
To create an xpctarget.fs object, use the
FTP object constructor function xpctarget.fs. In
the MATLAB window, type
f = xpctarget.fs
Both xpctarget.ftp and xpctarget.fs belong
to the xpctarget.fsbase object. This object encompasses
the methods common to xpctarget.ftp and xpctarget.fs.
You can call the xpctarget.fsbase methods for both xpctarget.ftp and xpctarget.fs objects.
The xPC Target software creates the xpctarget.fsbase object
when you create either an xpctarget.ftp or xpctarget.fs object.
You enter xpctarget.fsbase object methods in the MATLAB Command
Window on the host PC or use MATLAB code scripts.
