How can I view FTP commands and responses?

[p-rose]

I'm using LabVIEW's standard "FTP Put File.vi" in my application and I would like to monitor the commands and responses sent to/received from the FTP server on my front panel to aid troubleshooting and debug efforts when the application is deployed as an executable. Is there an easy way to achieve that without having to heavily modify the standard NI FTP VI's?

I can't look at the moment, but I seem to remember that NI's FTP library already writes all the sent and received data into a single VI which you can view. I don't remember if there's a built in way to open it, but I'm sure that if you look into the code, you can find it.

If I'm remembering incorrectly, then I would say that yes, the only option is to modify the VIs (unless you want to use an external monitor, like Wireshark), although I don't think the modification is necessarily complicated, as you can probably do with modifying low-level VIs, although that might be different if you have multiple connections in parallel.
