How Can I Use LabVIEW to FTP Files to and from My Real-Time TargetPrimary Software: LabVIEW Modules>>Real-Time ModulePrimary Software Version: 8.6 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: I know how to use MAX, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Windows Explorer or another FTP utility to send and receive files with my real-time target. How can this be done programmatically in LabVIEW? Solution: The best method is to use the FTP VIs that come with the Internet Toolkit. Below is a simple example of how to move a file from a real-time target to a host computer. For real-time targets, the default user and password is anonymous and an empty sting respectively. The host is the IP address of the real-time target.
Another method would be to use the System Exec VI. The details of this method are discussed in the Developer Zone Example in the Related Links section.
