How to list files from a remote directory?

[pabr]

Hi,

I have a user interface on a PC that needs to display a directory listing of a remote RT processor.  I don't want to have the RT to use List Directory function and the PC to get this result... I'm sure there's a cleaner way to do that with FTP or DataSocket.  I've tried FTP, but it stalls in FTP Directory Listing.vi.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Patrick.

There are a number of reasons why the Directory lister can hang. The best thing to do is try the "FTP browser.vi" found in the example finder. If you have the internet toolkit it will show up if you search for "FTP." In this example program, type in your RT unit's IP address and see if you can browse the directory structure. If it works you can use any portion of this program in your own application. Hope this helps.
