Hi, I have a question about file transfer from ORP to remote asset. How to I do this I can’t find the document about ORP send files to remote device by RS232 to serial USB? ---

You can find the information on the online help. > **[Configuring ORP for File Transfers](https://docs.octave.dev/docs/configuring-orp-for-file-transfers)** > > Octave's file-sending functionality involves the use of Octave Resource Protocol (ORP) to manage file transfers using ORP packets. For more information see ORP and File Transfer Overview in the ORP reference guide. ---

Hi @djudkins , Thanks for your reply, ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/9/979c2ceb1d68e12fc27d1fd8a1d0eadcaeb4ab7e.png) I already find the online help, but I can’t open “ORP and File Transfer Overview”. And I find other help like [Sending Files to your Asset](https://docs.octave.dev/docs/sending-files-1) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/0/01eb5cecebd46527d44f369903ea15a8d71f3260.png) I want to do step 3, but I have no idea. Can you help me how to do this? (My device is FX30s and use RS232 to usb) ---

Hi @djudkins , I study the link [Octave Resource Protocol Reference Guide](https://docs.octave.dev/docs/octave-resource-protocol) but I still understand how to do it (Send file from Octave to Remote device: like ubuntu) Does it have a sample to do this ? Octave send to remote asset? ---

Hi Larry, Have you implemented the ORP file transfer code on your Ubunto?

> [@djudkins](#): > > Have you implemented the ORP file transfer code on your Ubunto? Hi @djudkins , How should I do it and what API should I use Edge Action? Like this ? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/2/229a28d5331a50cc12f4f84f4f2f168fc147e8a5.png) I can use it and create, add handler, get or set. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/1/1f4aca0c377d7c5b5feebe3c9e853f5e5a3bae3f.png) But it cannot download the file like below and the file path is “/data/le\_fs/fileStream/files”: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/d/dd393207352adde41cc0917af9fca82f1be85408.png) So Can I download the file in the path? Do you have any examples in edge action that I can refer to? Q2. I have a question about file transfer? Following the flow like below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/5/543350d1e32bc8f3b83872b21d77f8483b74839d.jpeg) The first step is “SYN” and how do I send the command “$ orp\> sync syn XX” How could I get file info with what command ? If I want to get file size how do I get the value? Q3. When I use “file control ready” and “file control start -a ” and my file looks locked ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/5/5eec5c5e8a518765bdf227b1f49f5f09b3ea5c3d.png) Do I lose finished command for unlock file? ---

Hi Larry, At this link you can a watch a video with step by step detail on how the file transfer from the Octave device to your asset works. [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/2/24bbca0c848fdd30d769dfcddfc3077861bd0055.jpeg "What's New in Octave: ORP File Transfer & Octave Plug & Play Connector to IoT Central - Oct 7 2021") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT1AFvnkNHc) If you are still having issues after this, we can point you to resources who can implement this for you via a service contract ---

Hi @djudkins , Thanks for your reply. I have looked the video and have some questions How can I get sync packet The document says every 5 sec will receive sync packets ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/9/9bcb9446de8a105d63ff6927343c9d681589241f.png) But in my case I can’t see the information. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/sierrawireless/original/2X/f/ff99fb74c33f8a5782915c2e45e0d5f57d36b02e.png) And sometimes I can’t get response. So my question is “How could I check the client is connected to server in ORP?”
