Get File from CompactRIO using VB.net and Measurement Studio

[Dhomfray]

I have a CompactRIO which has a file stored locally. In VB.net (with latest Measurement Studio) I want to download that file from the compactRIO to the host PC. What is the easiest efficient method of getting access to that file and downloading it. When I type ftp://192.168.xxx.xxx in to windows explorer I can see the compactRIO

The quickest way would be to just FTP it from the cRIO device, the default login is "anonymous" for username and password on the IP address of your cRIO and this document shows how to do this from VB .NET.

In the end I created a FTP module in LabVIEW and made it into a DLL which I miported into VB.net
