webserver files transer

[gepponline]

Hi!

   I'm controlling an application using the webserver.

This application is over the internet and it save a file every ay on its own memory.

I like to copy one month every file from there to the client pc that use the browser to monitor and control the application.

At the moment i use a Tree control to list the files that are stored on the server, and i'd like to copy those files to the client pc when i press a button.

The problem is to resolve the path to which the files have to be saved.

I don't know the client pc IP and the "c:\" path that i see in the browser is the Server disk and not the client.

Is it possible to move files from server to client using the webserver?

Don't think this is possible, as a webserver hasn't the right to access a clients harddrive normally. But in Windows, you can share your folders between different pcs. So will it be an alternative to create a litte application on the client side that accesses a shared folder on your servers pc and copy the files?

Hi,

  thank you for your answer.

Yes, maybe i'll use the shared folder solution.

I wanted to know if there are some different solution.

better if with no ad hoc client.

sure there are other possibilities, as labview supports tcp/ip protocol and so on, that means you can program the file transfer yourself, but this means to create a server, a client and to implement all your needed functionality into your server, it's no "remoting of a VI" anymore...
