LabVIEW Real-Time Idea Exchange

As cRIO's are deployed in ever growing applications, it would sure be nice if there was an option to use SFTP (and disable FTP altogheter) on the controller. Ideally it would be supported at the OS level, i.e. the existing cRIO FTP server is upgraded or extended to include SFTP as well.

If this is already supported, try searching for "sftp" or "crio sftp" and you'll see only one 3rd party tool-kit, but I confirmed with that company (Labwerx.net) that it (labSSH) does not support cRIO/FPGA/RT targets and there are no concrete plans to add support to other targets.

NI: I call on you to either create the FTP toolkit I need to write my own SFTP server, or better yet, update the cRIO FTP server to include the "s". . . It is only one letter, how hard can that be!? 😉 

If this is already possible through some (obscure?) way, please update your site-search engine to reckognize sftp and/or crio sftp, and/or link to a KB or Whitepaper on the topic as I did not find any.

(Note: cRIO safety and security IS covered in pretty good detail in the article series starting with Overview of Best Practices for Security on RIO Systems and the linked 3 articles.)

Hi everyone , thanks for your time .

I have a text file with a table of data (text file example attached) , this file will be increasing with time , perhaps 500 lines per year , i want to read this file from labview and to be able to search a name (first field of the text file) and the data in the same line belongs to that name  , the idea is to read line by line and if the first field matches the name searched , then get all the data in that line as a string , the data types don't matter .

As well i have to be able to delete a complete line of the same text file if the name matches the one searched .

Any idea will be agreat , Thank you very much for your help and time !
