OS project downloading from ES: ERROR: "Existing errors, The target path on the operator station is invalid."

Dear Sir,

This is regarding OS project downloading from ES to main server (MS).

I check above check list shared by you. I guess most of the things are ok.

I'm receiving following error message while downloading.

ERROR: "Existing errors, The target path on the operator station is invalid."

I have attached a photo of an error for your reference. 

What could be the reason for this error ?

Is it possible to share the project file with you for observation?

Thank you,

Dimuthu

Hi Thacdin

1. Create on the Operator Station a share for the Download folder.

2. Check if your can copy from the ES with windows Explorer any files to the Share of the OS.3. 3. Use the same user and password on the ES and OS station

3. Work the ping of name(computername) on the both computers?

4. Check whether you see ES and OS in the SIMATIC Shell on the both computers (on OS and on ES)?

5. please Check is your User Account Control off? (Start -> Control panel -> User Accounts -> Change User Account Control settings -> set to never notify)

6. please check that the computer name of the OS has been entered correctly in the project. Or was the download path changed(deleted and new created)?.

7. Do you have any redundancy ? If yes the path must be available on both server and must also be accessible on both server during the download (when redundancy is used) I had the same message or a similar message in my test. In this case the same path didn't exist on the second server. Did the customer check the path on both redundant server ? Simatic Net is not necessary for the download of the server but might be necessary for the communication to the PLC (depended of the type of the communication).

Boa tarde.

Delete os arquivos da pasta winccprojects. Em seguida faça o download do projeto ( o wincc irá recriar as pastas).

Na pasta winccprojects deverá conter apenas os arquivos do projeto.

​Good afternoon.

Delete the files from the winccprojects folder. Then download the project (wincc will recreate the folders).

The winccprojects folder should contain only the project files.
