Re : [CRIO] download by RT programming a file from the network to the CRIO

[noahsaga]

Hi,

I need to download on my CRIO a file witch is store on a PC belonging to the factory network. My CRIO has access to the network but I can't create an FTP serveur on the factory's computer.

All of this has to be automatics (no user action) and the VI is execute on the RT target...

Once the file is on the CRIO target, I read data from it, modify some of them and I need to put back the file where I download it in the first place.

I tried to use the CRIO as a FTP server but it didn't work.

Best regards.

Xavier

Hello noahsaga,

Thanks for posting on National Instruments forum.

Unfortunately there no way to transfer files without FTP or any program on the network PC.

You can turn on Windows FTP Server functionality (Windows 7 and Windows XP), technically that is not installing anything to the host PC, just activating a feature of Windows. The cRIO can then use the FTP VIs to transfer to and from. Without FTP or LabVIEW on the networked PC, there is not much you can do.
