Hello there, I’m developing an application with the M2M example “ftp\_put” and I set up all the parameters and it works great. What I’m trying to do now, is to make this “upload process” to be cyclic, I want to upload i.e. the same file every hour but with different information in it, that’s why I want to make it cyclic. For now I’m just working on the cyclic part, when I get it, I’ll see through the file information/name stuff. Here’s mi code… ```auto / ***************************************************************************** / /* appli.c - Copyright Wavecom S.A.

} ``` Something else… in the Traces I can see “(cfg\_gprs) Enter.” every time I call the timer to activate the upload process, but it uploads nothing. 😕 Any ideas, is it possible to do something like that?? THANKS!! 😉 ---

Well… no one replied… What I did as a “solution” is to restart the device over and over again after the desired value of time.
