Labview has lots of ways of sharing data between Labview applications. See

http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12079/en/

However, if some other application is generating a file and you want to retrieve it then you have some other options. You could setup a shared folder (such as sharing a windows folder). This link shows you how to share a folder on the same network windows <-> linux (but can probably be used windows <-> windows and linux <-> linux).

However, what about across the web. I think this will depend and you owe us more details to properly address this. If some application is generating a file, you certainly could use an FTP server (for windows Filezilla Server is decent). But you'll need to do things like setup the port correctly; open up a hole in your firewall; setup port forwarding on your router; and possibly other things. These details will depend on your OS, network configuration and applications.

What Real Time hardware are you using?  Most NI RT systems have an option for installing an FTP server through MAX.  If you install that, then the FTP server just starts on boot up.

As long as you are not using a very outdated NI RT hardware, use WebDAV instead of FTP.

You can install a WebDAV server on your RT-target using MAX. WebDAV client VIs come with LabVIEW.
