File Transfer

The File Transfer action copies a file to or from the gateway and the deviceWISE Cloud.

NOTE: While the primary connection between the node and the deviceWISE Cloud is via MQTT, files are transferred via HTTPS (or HTTP if TLS is not available), thus you will need to ensure that port 443 and/or 80 is also open on your device.
