RT:Why I can't make an ftp through explorer?

[Principiant]

Dear members,

Actually I have a problem with the browser to connect with the target.

My system is a peer to peer PC desktop.

I am able to deploy and run the application without troubles and also the data exchange via the measurement and automation explorer

works fine.

The problem is when I try to estabilish a connection via ftp or http to the target.

 I type the usual URL: ftp://160.40.10.20/NI_RT/SYSTEM/WWW/  where the IP address is the target address and ...page cannot be displayed.

I'm sure the firewall is inactive and I set the pop-up and security at the minimal level.

The Web configuration in the real time target properties is so set:

TCP/IP  box checked

In the computer acess list I wrote the IP addresses of the target and the host

Webserver active checked

Webserver Browser access  I wrote the Host  IP address

User access   I placed the Host IP

Someone has idea what I made wrong?

Bye

You sure abt it?

try ftp just to the root.   ftp://160.40.10.10  and then browse to the folder of interest.

What ftp client are you using?   Internet explorer?  Windows explorer? other?

[Principiant]

Well I'm sure of these things:

The Antivirus is deactivated

The windows firewall is deactivated

The Explorer pop up and security options are at minimal level

Thanks for the suggestion but I already tried ad I cannot even connect to the root.

[StevenA]

Try using windows explorer instead of internet explorer.

[Principiant]

Sorry for the delayed answer, I was away  the last week.

Ok I tried and all it does it switch on Internet explorer and the answer is always the same: impossible to connect to the page.

Have you tried/Can you connect via the command line?

I can't use IE to access the FTP on our cRIO-9004, but I use the command line more often anyway which does work fine

Windows reference if you're rusty:

To connect:     ftp <IP>

To Upload:      put <filename>

To Download: get <filename>  - N.B. both Put and Get both work off your user directory

To quit:            bye

Thanks for the suggestion but I solved the problem finally.

The fact is that I use a Peer to Peer connection but the host or better IE on the host has been configured for a LAN connection. This means anytime it searches an address he wants to go through the Gateway and since the gateway is not connected....

The solution is quite straightforward:

Starting from the tool bar of IE  follow the path Tools>>Internet Options>>Connections>>LAN Settings>>Advanced..

Then in the field Exceptions (address which do not need a proxy connection) write the target IP address or if more than one the trgets addresses separated from a semi colon and that' s it.

So said it seems easy....

...at the last I completely disabled the proxy, seems it gives problems also when you have setted as exception the target in a Peer to Peer configuration
