Not An FTP Session?.vi

[Sury@]

Hi,

I need to know what is "Not An FTP Session?.vi" role in running a FTP related vi's when we have “Not An FTP Session.vi” both located in \addons\internet\ftp\ftp0.llb. We have a project which uses FTP connection; it works well in the development PC. During the make of installer also it does not give us any error, but when we install in client PC, FTP does not work. The root cause “?” in vi name which is not supported by windows. We renamed the vi, removed “?”, but the vilib which holds the links for all the FTP vi’s “NI_InternetTK_FTP_VIs.lvlib:” still holds the same name and is added in the dependencies and this LVLIB is locked which cannot be modified. This similar issue was raised in another forum: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=341558&requireLogin=False Can anyone help me in solving this issue ASAP.

Thanks & Regards, Surya

Surya,

This issue was reported to LabVIEW R&D (CAR #120518) for further investigation, the recommended workaround is to Edit the build specification to put the VI's with non-standard filenames in an executable or within an .llb file to avoid the conflict. You will avoid the issue if you do not have to directly copy the file into a Windows directory.
