About Transferring Data Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

After you extract data from a Proficy Historian or a PI Server, you must transfer it to the destination Historian server. To do so, you can use BITS, FTP, or any other file-sharing application.
Note: The minimum bandwidth required to transfer data using FTP is 2 KBps.
To transfer data using FTP, perform the following steps:
  1. Install an FTP server on the destination Historian server.
  2. Configure the FTP settings.
  3. Transfer data to the destination Historian server.
