Is it possible to deploy an executable to CompactRIO using FTP to transfer the build executable?

[Mohoyt]

I'm wondering whether it is possible to deploy an executable to CompactRIO using FTP to transfer the build executable? I can deploy the executable fine from the development PC, but I was wondering if I could build the executable on the development pc, then transfer it to a USB drive, take it to another computer connected by ethernet to the CompactRio and FTP down the file into the correct folder. The executable file that I am referring to in this case is 'rtapp.rtexe'

Thanks

Hi,

That should be no problem at all. Any machine with or without NI software can use an FTP client to transfer files to and from an RT target such as CompactRIO.
You should be able to build the executable on the development machine, transfer it via USB drive to another machine and then use FTP software to transfer the file from there. You'll just need the IP address of the target and login information.

For more information on FTP transfer with or without MAX to RT targets, see the following KB article:

I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to reply with more questions on the subject.
