Telnet

Hi,

does LabVIEW have support for using telnet and ftp on both Windows
and Solaris platforms?

Regards

LabVIEW Does in fact support Telnet and FTP, but you have to purchase
the Enterprise Connectivity Toolkit. I use the Telnet VI's regularly,
but I have not tried the FTP Vi's (But they do exist). As far as being
available for Solaris, I can't help there... Sorry

Hi Jan. I see your message is fairly old, but I just
faced the same thing today (Win98 and telnet) when
trying to communicate w/an instrument that uses 10bT.

From Win98 I can open up Start|Run|Telnet and open
a connection to my instrument and command and query
it, but trying the obvious (TCP/IP functions: Open then
Write then Read then Close sequentially) didn't get me
very far, and left me w/o a clue as to what I was doing
wrong.

Fortunately, in another message Armando García López

TalkPassive.vi basically seems to sets up and wait for
another to connect to it. TalkActive.vi on the other
hand provides the same functionality as win98's telnet,
allowing me to interact manually (and successfully 🙂
with the instrument.

I'm all in a tizzy with this news and haven't implemented
it in my real program but it's obvious that it's a cinch.

The only necessary non-obvious tidbit is that Telnet
seems to wanna use port 23 (Win's telnet program
offers port names (like "telnet") but not their numbers,
and I don't know where that bit of information is
available--If I hadn't found it around here by accident
it would have taken a while to figure it out!!).

This interesting information can be traced to Internet RFC standards
documents (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/) and found all around the Internet
by searching for the phrase "well-known ports."

Here's a very nice summary of TCP port assignments:
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers

You'll see that LabVIEW's VI Server has its very own registered port
(3363), along with thousands of others out there, but
low ones such as
23 have long been reserved for Telnet and other fundamental protocols.
