Using a VISA TCP/IP Socket to Log In to an FTP Server
PrintDownloads
Filename: visa_ftp_login.vi
Requirements: View
In this example, we do the following:
1. Build a Visa Resource name of the form: tcpip::URL::PORT::socket
2. Typecast this string into a VISA Resource.
3. Use VISA Read and Write to send and receive according to the FTP protocol.
4. Close the connection using VISA Close to clean up.
This example is intended only to demonstrate VISA functionality and does not implement a complete FTP client.
Note: The VISA TCP/IP Socket is for communicating with instruments and not for true TCP/IP programming. One limitation is that the session much originate from VISA. For more control when programming TCP/IP, consider using the LabVIEW Enterprise Connectivity Toolset.
For more information about VISA Classes, refer to the VISA Programmer Reference Manual and the VISA User Manual.
