Use a FTP Files step to download files to and upload files from a remote system. This step is particularly useful when you are using a real-time system that uses LabVIEW.

Configuring the Step

Use the FTP Files edit tab in the TestStand Sequence Editor and the FTP Files Step Configuration dialog box in a TestStand User Interface to specify what files to download to or upload from a remote system.

Step Properties

In addition to the common custom properties , the FTP Files step type defines the following step properties:

• Step.RemoteHost —The computer name or IP address of the remote computer. The Step.RemoteHostByExpr property specifies whether the step interprets this property value as an expression or as a string.
• Step.RemoteHostByExpr —When this property is True , the step interprets the Step.RemoteHost property value as an expression. When this property is False , the step interprets the value as a string.
• Step.FTPUsername —The login name to use when connecting to the server.
• Step.FTPPassword —The password to use when connecting to the server.
• Step.FilesToFTP —The local and remote file paths, the direction to transfer the file, and whether to overwrite a file when it exists.
