How can I programatically transfer files from a remote device to a host PC ?

[isahi]

I have a PXI system with the NI-8176 controller runing LabVIEW 6.1 in a data logging application wich writes to a spread sheet file in the PXI's hard drive. I would like to have a vi to transfer this file to the host PC. What should I do?

Hello,
One option is to use a program running on the host PC to FTP the file from the RT controller. If you'd like to use LabVIEW and don't have the Internet Connectivity Toolkit, datasockets also has FTP functionality.

If you have any more questions, or would like further explanation, please let me know.

In fact I am trying to do the samething but I couldnt. I am collecting data from a system in real time, I monitor and control the system remotely from a remote computer. When I want to save the collected data in the remote computer I got an error. I must save the data in a file located in the host (server) computer but I cant in the remote, Why? Hoe can I solve it?
The only way it worked with me when I saved the data in a shared file over the network. Is there any other method, because I am planning to download my program to the internet, so will I be able to save the data from any place?

I hope my problem is clear,

Thanks to any1 provide a hint
