ftp'ing without internet toolking

Dear All,

I would like to ftp some files generated by the program.Anybody knows
any option to do this without the internet toolkit?

The second question is, I'm using the web server in the lab pc but the
company web server is another machine. Could I transfer the front panel
automatically using labview?

Cheers,

Ernest

Hi,
You may try to use the windows built in ftp utility.
So you just need to run "System exec.vi" with command "ftp -n IPAddress" and standart input equal to something like:
"user USERNAME PASSWORD
dir
binary
send MyFile.dat
close
bye"

The example is attached.

Good luck.

Oleg Chutko.

You can definitely do this if you read the file transfer protocol rfc at:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html

I haven't done it with an ftp server but I have made a LV mail client
based on the smtp rfc. I posted it on the NI site. All you really need
to use is TCP Write and TCP Write commands. The rfc will have all the
necessary commands.

Perhaps we could build an OpenG internet toolkit? See OpenG.org for more
info.
