Rif.: Copy a file from one computer to another

[Kanu]

Hi All,

I am trying to copy a file from a computer (where I have CVI program running) to another computer on the same network. How should I be doing it ? Should I use socket functions library provided by C or is there any other library available in labwindows?

Thanks,

Kanu

CopyFile ( ) in the Utility library accepts UNC pathnames, so you can do something like this:

CopyFile ("myfile.txt", "\\\\remotePC\\remoteFolder\\myfile.txt");

Care must be taken to avoid conflicts between this function and the corresponding Windows API function with the same name: read the online help for explanations.

Simpler is better, don't you think?

A few question to permit understanding what's happening:

Is the source file present in the given folder?

Is the target folder availble for writing (i.e. there is no network constraint)?

Can you post the relevant code?
