If it were in online mode, you could have used the GUI* func. modules for this purpose.

But as you want to perform your file operations in BG mode you can use FTP. Search in SDN, google on how to implement FTP.

Every file transfer needs a protocol.

if your network server behaves like or just is an ftp server, you may open a ftp connection and use ftp commands to put and get files. Search for keyword ftp.

Hi,

Since this is background and you do not have any user intervention, you need to default the file locations in your code. GUI* FMs will still work.
