[amandarila]

Dear All, 

 Labview 7.1 seems don't have the FTP toolkit, I want to write a FTP client to pick file from a chipset ram.

I have no way to make it, can anyone give me a hand. Thanks.

Hi amandaila,

  Though Labview 7.1 may or maynot have FTP toolkit,but it must be having system Exec.vi.Using that one you can execute Windows FTP commands and make a FTP client.

                                                    http://www.nsftools.com/tips/MSFTP.htm.This Link will show you all FTP commands executed in windows environment.

Thanks and regards,

Hi srikrishnaNF,

Thanks for your advice, I have use SystemExe, it alway make PC so slowly.

and I prepare to use C to build a dll for Labview7.1 calling.

Though I don't know whether it is a better way to do so.

Hi amanda,

  May be your dll will work i guess...But systemExec.vi is not slow as i already developed an application using this procedure.I did not face any problems.

Thanks and regards,

The FTP toolkit is actually part of the Internet Toolkit which is something you need to buy. An alternative is to use the old OpenG Internet Connectivity Tools. Note that these are no longer supported. I have no idea if Kevin is still answering questions on these libraries.

Try these.

Hi pcardinale,

I have try FTP_Get_File.vi, the first command FTP -A IPaddress get Filename bye can not use.

I send command step by step(FTP, open Ipaddress, get filename localfolder), it can work(copy remotefile to local folder).

but when I use Labview to realize those steps, it can not do as expected.

Tray concatenating all of your commmands into a single multi-line string, and use only one call to "System Exec"

You might be able to use DataSocket to perform an FTP transfer...
