So if I understand correctly, I need to install a WebDav server on my linux device so that I can read the files with the other PC via Labview?

Yes. Same goes for FTP or Samba. The Linux device needs FTP\WebDAV\Samba installed and configured, the LabVIEW needs to support it (which is the case for FTP, WebDAV and Samba).

My Linux device doesn`t have internet (I`m just connected with the PC via Ethernet cable), can I still i install the server?

Well, no matter what you want to install on the Linux device, it would need to be downloaded at some point. I'm no Linux expert, but the general way to install anything is to aptget or something, which requires a download. You can probably download it on another PC and then install it, but I wouldn't be able to advice on that.

Depending on the Linux distribution FTP, WebDAV and\or Samba support might already be installed...

UPDATE:

I couldn`t get the WebDav working but eventually I managed to make the connection and read the .txt file with SSH Putty/Plink.exe VIs.
