Owning Palette: FTP VIs

Installed With: Internet Toolkit

Connects to an FTP server and copies the contents of a single file from the local machine.

	remote port is the TCP/IP port at which the server listens. The default is 21, the FTP control port.
	password is the password that authenticates the username.
	user is the name you want to use to log on to the FTP server. The default is anonymous.
	host is the name or IP address of an FTP server.
	remote path is the UNIX-style path to a file on the FTP server.
	local path is the path to the location where you store the local file. If you do not wire local path, a file dialog box prompts you for a location.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use exception control to treat what is normally an error as no error or to treat a warning as an error. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	binary specifies whether to transfer data in binary or ASCII mode. The default is FALSE, in which the VI transfers data in ASCII mode.
	active specifies whether the data connection is active or passive. The default is TRUE, which specifies an active connection.
	file error lists any file-related errors, such as invalid remote path or file access permission denied. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
