I need to write a labview program that will transfer a file from my work office to another building on a routine scheduled time. I don't have any tool kits. Can anyone help.

I am able to ftp the file manually but it is large and needs to be transfered on a routine bases. Does anyone have a vi that already does this? Or know how I can set this up? Thanks i advanc for the help!

Can't you just use the Copy or Move functions on the File I/O>Advanced File Functions palette?

Greg,

A friend of mine by the name of Chris Duffey, wrote an FTP Server in
LabView... I believe he has it posted on his Website... I've transfered
files with it before. I'm sure you could create LabView code around it that
would allow you to transfer data at periodic intervals.

Good luck,

Bill

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info. What is your friends (Chris Duffey)web address? I would love to see how he wrote his ftp server. Would you be willing to share it? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again.

You could try using the system exec vi under communication, and wire in the ftp command and file name etc
