Trying to download files from an URL in a proxy server environment

[JR_Tager]

Hi,

I am trying to download a file using LabVIEW with a simple DataSocket Read function but I am getting this error message: "LabVIEW:  Path not found, FTP login incorrect, or no FTP write permission." I am trying to do this at work and I know we have a proxy server. Even If I use this simple code, it does not work:

How can I tell LabVIEW to use the proxy server?

Thanks,

Hello JR_Tager.

Thanks for using the NI Forums. From what I see in your code you haven’t initialized any session to a server. Please take a look at the Simple DataSocket.lvproj within the LabVIEW Find Examples section.

Please check also this Datasocket tutorial that will explain the main functions and help you with your application.

Hi LuiE_C

Thanks for your reply. About that, I thought there was no need to initialize a session. For example, checking at the paper you are pointing below, we have this:

This is what I actually try to use and it is not working. I am 100% sure it must be because of the proxy settings. That is the reason why I am asking how to tell LabVIEW the proxy settings.

Thanks,
