Hello Erez,

You can try using the DataSocket in CVI, it provides a simple solution for transferring text files to and from a remote computer. DataSocket can accept a number of transfer protocols including http://, ftp://, and dstp://. There are example programs in LabWindows/CVI that uses DataSocket for communication.

You can use DataSocket with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, ComponentWorks, and Tools for Visual C++ software and can find more information on DataSocket at http://www.ni.com/datasocket/

I hope it helps,
Rajiv

I know that I need to use DataSocket but I could not
find any example that show how to transfer a file
from my computer to another through HTTP protocol.
If any one have a link to an example please give it.

Hello Erez,

What more you can do with is copy the contents of the file from your computer to the http location. The steps you need to follow then are:

1) Use DS_Open to open a connection to the HTTP file, for example: http://domain.com/filename.txt
2) Open the local file in CVI with fopen.
3) Read the contents of the local file into a string buffer with fread.
4) Write the string buffer to the DataSocket with DS_Write
5) Close the datasocket connection with DiscardObjHandle
