Task scheduling and Status of copying files from one folder to other

[Naqqash]

In the attached VIs I am reading the content of a Folder from Harddisk and reading the contents of the FTP folder, then after comparing the contents or both folder I am copying the missing data to the HDD from FTP. I've two issues here,

1) Can any body tell me how I can check while VI is running , that how much data is copied from FTP and how much is remaining. 

2) What if I want to do this task each day but at particular time lets say 1 p.m each day this task should be perform but the vi will be in run mode all the time.

I hope I will get some suggestions and help from the members.

Regards,

Naqqash.

Hi Naqqash,

An idea for to set-up, you could insert a seperate case structure where the Case Selector is based on a comparison between the "Get Date/Time String" or a timestamp and 1pm, and when that's true, the case launches a sub VI that checks this process, displays the result, then closes when done. In that subVI, go to File>>VI Properties>>Window Appearance>>Custom>>Customize and then check the box 'Show front panel when called'.
