PC communication through CVI

[jntas]

I would like to open an ethernet link between 2 PC and communicate between them as sending command from one pc asking the other to run an application (like ftp a file) then send result back to the sender PC.
Is there any sample program I can look at?

Thanks.

The best way to do this is through TCP communication. CVI comes with a TCP library to write client/server applications. See the examples in cvi\samples\tcp to see how to use the TCP functions to write a client and a server. As for having one of the applications launch another application, you can do this with the LaunchExecutable function.
