Re : Copy files in a shared folder

[Aojha]

HI all,

I have an application in which I have to copy a file in a shared folder on a different PC over the same network. Can anyone suggest me How to do this? 

[Norbert_B]

Well, the easy approach is to generate the file locally and then use the COPY function to add the file to the network drive.

But there are some caveats:

- How do you make sure that you have the correct permission to write the file there?

- How do you make sure that the path to the shared drive is valid (e.g. mounted drive vs. absolute path)?

- How do you plan to react if the file already exists on the network drive?

hope this helps,

Norbert

You will typically get an error if the file was not written.  But I want to say I ran into a situation where it didn't.  Can't remember.  Just check for an error on the copy.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure it out as well. I need to give a password before copying files, how can I do it in labview?
