How to configure VISA Resource Name?

[Master Student]

To whom it  may concern:

I am trying to FTP files from one machine to another using IP addressing(ethernet).  I would like to use Labview as the transmission channel and affect the packets' delay, bit error rate etc. 

I am having a problem using VISA and configuring a resource name.  I struggling to find information that will guide me through the process.

Using TCP tools is no problem but I can't FTP with TCP/IP using Labview.

Do I need MAX? Is there another way? Thanks.

A few options for you:

• Buy the NI LabVIEW Internet Toolkit
• Use the System Exec function to launch an ftp client with command-line options or perhaps a client that can use a script
• Use the free OpenG Internet Toolkit (http://openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OpenG%20Internet%20Connectivity%20Tools#attachments), though I don't think this is supported anymore. Still, it might work for you.
