Sending file through TCP/IP

[taytay]

Hi all,

I would like to know whether LabVIEW is able to send file through TCP/IP. Can anyone please enlighten me on this. Thank You

Hi taytay,

Of course it is possible !
Go to function palette >> Communication >> TCP ; I have never used them but here they are.
Go to Help >> Find examples.. and search for TCP, you'll find example code 😉

You can also purchase the "internet toolkit" that provide ready to use FTP VIs to send or copy simple/multiple file(s).

Hope this helps.

You can use the functions in the File I/O palette (Open->Read->Close) to read all the bytes from a file and send those bytes to the other computer. Then you can use the same functions (only with Write this time) to write the file. If the file is big, read it in chunks. There are examples for reading files as well.
