File transfer from Labview to Raspberry Pi 3 over wi-fi

[r_te]

Hi All,

Is it possible to transfer a text file, word file or an excel file from windows PC using a Labview code to Raspberry Pi 3 over a same wi-fi network?

Short answer is yes. What have you tried?

I haven't tried it yet. I mean I do not know how will I accept that data on Raspberry Pi. If I write a python code for RPi, will that be able to communicate with Labview on PC? What are the other options available?

In the past I have just opened a TCP connection with the PI (with a python TCP server to accept the connection and receive the bytes).

FTP would be another, probably more straightforward option.

This SFTP library might be of use. I haven't used it so can't really comment.

SFTP is going to be a safer option than regular FTP, but whether this matters depends on where the system is going to be deployed.

Options besides Python? Lua, C, C++, Scratch, Forth, Fortran, Bash. Even LabVIEW probably, with a 3rd party tool.
