I’m using a UR3e with a Robotiq wrist camera, and am saving the captured images to a USB attached to the robot. I’d like to use RTDE (or any other remote access protocol) to retrieve the images once they are captured for export and processing in a different tool. Can a USB-located image be accessed remotely? If so, does anyone know how? ---

SFTP would be a reasonable approach to extracting files from the robot. But be careful to not make any changes on the robot as you can damage system files. Hotname: IP Adress of Robot User: root password: easybot Port: 22 ---

Thanks! I also found a comment here: [Wrist Camera Live Image — DoF](https://dof.robotiq.com/discussion/275/wrist-camera-live-image) that tells how I can capture the live image with Python (which is better for me than moving the file).
