transferring folder using ftp

[SreedharT]

HI,

I am trying to transfer a folder with all its contents (files/sub folders) from an RT server to my local machine. How can I do that? Is there any function or VI taking care of that... kindly attach some vi to give a better idea if possible...

Plz Help!!!

You need the internet toolkit. It has an extensive library of ftp functions and a lot more tools. Cost about $1000= but will save you lots of development time.

actually, I am not sure about the price anymore: $1000= may be the "enterprise connectivity toolkit," which includes the internet toolkit. Request a quote from NI for real information.

I am already having that, but it only gives me the way to transfer file/multiple files (not folders) from one particular folder from the RT Machine.... I want to transfer complete folder with the files/sub folders inside that.

The FTP library in the Internet Toolkit gies you all the functionality
to do that with a little work. You will have to list the directory
contents and for every directory change down into it and do this all
recursively. If you are new to recursive programming you could take a
look at the List Directory Recursive.vi from the File package in the
OpenG toolkit. http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengtoolkit/
