FTP transfert with progressbar

[benj]

Hi !

I would like to download a file from my PXI controler to my remote PC. For the moment I use the FTP MS-Dos command (with System Exec.vi) but I would like to see the progression of my file (with a progress bar for instance). Someone can give me advices about it? I would like a free solution (not a commercial Win32 API).

Thanks,

There are a couple of other methods of getting files to and from your PXI controller:

1. You can use the LabVIEW FTP server and VIs to do the transfer - create your own FTP app with a progress bar
2. Use Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to transfer them - right click on your remote system and slecect "File Transfer" - this option opens up a FTP interface (written in LabVIEW btw) which has a progress bar for each file you down/upload.
3. Use any third party FTP client available (try a google)

I would like to include the transfert in my application (automatic download at the end of the acquisition program), so n°2 and n°3 are not for me, perhaps n°1. But I don't know "the LabVIEW FTP server and VIs to do the transfer". I never saw VI like this in LabVIEW, even in the NI Internet toolkit where you can't have an information of progress.

Hi,

the "DataSocket Read/Write" functions do the job:

use a URL like

ftp://hostname/filename.extension [text]

to send/receive files.

best regards

I tryed it but it doesn't work because of the proxy of my commpany. Datasocket pass by the proxy to communicate with the other computer (in the lan) and can't establish dialog. What's the solution for Datasocket doesn't pass by the proxy. Perhaps there is an option (like in web browsers) ?

Hi,
Concerning the same issue I am addressing the "FTP-forum".
I am doing FTP datarate measurements through the command windows,logging in to the ftp server use , ,
and or . I am reading the datarate and time that the downlaod (or upload)session took in and old fashon way (cut&paste). I found several examples aslike the one that I am attaching now, but I cannot modify it to read me the string that I need i.e. :bytes received in 8.86Seconds 8316.09Kbytes/sec
Can anyone help?

Example of my session.
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode Off .
ftp> mget *
200 Type set to I.
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Half.zip(73663934 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 73663934 bytes received in 8.86Seconds 8316.09Kbytes/sec.

Tnaks in advance
