I whipped up my own version of this setup and had no problem at all. However,
I was using the VIs that come with the Internet Developers Toolkit--is that
what you're doing?
I put together two VIs:
A. Opened an FTP session (to ftp.ni.com), logged on anonymously, wrote the
FTP session to a global, and then stayed in a while loop. There was also a
case in the loop that issued a LIST command if I clicked a front panel button.
B. A one-shot, no loop. This VI simply read
the FTP session from the
global and invoked the LIST (FTP Directory Listing.vi), then stopped.
I made sure to close the FTP session only from VI A, after the while loop
ended. I was able to do arbitrary LIST commands from either A or B without
any errors, as long as I ran B after A had already initiated the FTP session
and authenticated.
Note that the FTP session object is updated when you run it through things
like the logon VI. If you wrote the session variable before the FTP logon
occurred, there would be a problem. You'd get errors about not being
authenticated.
Hope it helps,
