how to share folders remotely using labview?

If there is any connection problem, how to read the file continuosly till there is a signal and get the data?

Sharing folders is done in Windows environment. You have to map the remote computer. Once it is mapped, you can point to the drive in LabVIEW and read the file continuously.

You address the file just like you would in Windows.

So if you had a remote computer with a shared folder with a text file, your path would be "\\Remove Computer Name\shared driver\blah.txt".  Windows handles almost all of the work.

Are you meaning to simply access files on your local or intranet network (such as from servers that offer SMB or AFP connections)?  Or are you meaning to connect to a remote server on the internet and communicate with it over TCP/IP or UDP to get files?  When you say "till there is a signal", it makes me think of file transfer over the internet or WiFi or Bluetooth...

In any case, above two would have completely different approach, others have already answered if you're trying to access folders within your intranet or local network.

thanks to you everyone for your suggestions

let me post my question in detail

i want to share folder containing files which are unknown to me, only information present is the name of the folder

i am just trying to access on local intranet network

here is the enclosure of program which can read and write text file continuously but i want the same with folders

that is accessing all the files present in a folder remotely

You could just use Copy File.  It would be a lot simpler than reading the file and appending to your second file every second.
