retrieve program from CRIO

[tarzanyu]

Hi

My colleague cann't find one of his LabVIEW program in his Laptop, which is currently inside the CRIO.

Is there any way I can retrieve the program from the CRIO's internal driver? I looked around in its embedded FTP server, but no luck so far.

Kindly Regards,

Marco,

I understand your friend has a program that he was running on his cRIO. At present he is unable to find the file on his PC so he is trying to recover it from the cRIO, correct? 

You may be able to retrieve the file through FTP as an rtexe if it was deployed to the controller however this will only be the compiled code rather than a VI.  If the code was run as a VI from the project explorer then it would have only been run in memory.

Best,

Thanks Chris, well explained. I didn't put too much hope on it either, just want some confirmation.
