S4C Remote Mounted Disk
I'm looking for help setting up a remote mounted disk on an S4C. I do have Ethernet Services. I'm using FileZilla Server, allowed through private networks in my firewall.
The error I'm getting is "mounting drive 'C:\Robot1' on server computer '192.168.125.81' failed" and the FileManager views the local path pc: as an "empty or bad disk" which makes sense. I've tried changing the local path to all sorts of formats (C/Robot1, /C/Robot1, C:Robot1, //Robot/Robot1, etc) with the same result, so I'm not sure the network location is actually the issue.
Another thread states BlackMoon FTP is the only free server that is compatible with ABB, but that was for IRC5. Maybe I'll give that a shot if I can find a freeware version. Any ideas?

The following is from the manual (hope it helps):
Remote Mounted disk 2.1 Overview Remote mounted disks enables the user to access files stored on a disk. The external computer has NFS or FTP server software running, which will enable the robot to access the files on its disks. Since several robots can access the disk of the same external computer, the PC disk can be used as a backup storage for robot programs, system parameters etc. 2.2 Server and local pathThe files on the disk are exported by the NFS/FTP server running on the external computer.
They are exported under a name that can be setup on the server. The ‘C’ drive on
a PC can for example be exported under the name ‘/C’.
This name should be entered in the system parameters in the Server Address parameter.
Note that the server does not have to export the whole disk but can export a sub-tree ofa disk. E.g. c:\rbt_backup can be exported as /c/rbt_backup.
The Local Path parameter specifies the name of the mounted unit on the robot. This
name is displayed on the teach pendant in the list of units together with the “ram1disk:”
and “flp1:” unit. It is also used in the RAPID programming language for accessing
files.See the User’s Guide for information about how to change parameters.
Assume that the external computer exports the sub directory c:\robot as /c/robot and
that a robot system mounts this disk as pc:.
The file c:\robot\robot.prg can then be accessed as pc:/robot.prg on the robot.
See the User’s Guide for information about how to change parameters.

Thanks for the post, unfortunately I can't find a solution to my problem in the manual. I tried installing an early version of Filezilla Server on a pc, running Windows XP, but still had no luck.
The only result where the controller doesn't report "failed to mount disk" is when it's listed as "Empty or Bad." I even tried unplugging the ethernet cable: it didn't report a failure to mount, and still listed the unit as Empty or Bad.
