Executable using FTP features

[francis.romano@focussia.c]

Hi,

We have created a small app that is using some of the FTP features provided by labview (Data Communications/Protocols/FTP functions palette), a simple feature is to do a DIR on a remote FTP folder to get its content.

When we use our VI's in the Labview dev environnement, everything is ok, we can read the content of the remote directory (meaning, user/password are ok).

When we build this as a Laview Exe app, the app is stucked and nothing happens..... if we try to debug the exe, we get an error saying the ftp connection cannot be established...

What could be the root cause ?

Seems all FTP functions do not work in a Labview EXE

Note that we're using Labview 2014

Thanks

Francis

They do work in built applications. If you are getting an error connecting then there would appear to be an issue with the parameters you are passing to the FTP Open. I would be helpful if we could see your code to actually provide more useful answers.

It could be a firewall issue. LabVIEW might be allowed through a firewall but your random executable might not be.

Hi Bert,

Thanks for the suggestion, I confirm it was 'just' a firewall issue !!!

Thanks for suggestion but the issue was due to the firewall !
