FTP Alternative for downloading 50mb files

I need to transfer 50mb binary data files from a crio to a pc over a celluar modem. I have implemented the FTP file transfer but for some reason FTP is moving really slow. Whether its the service provider throttling the transfer rate on the port, we are not sure.
I was wondering if there are any other ways to send files with LabVIEW. I don't have much experience with HTTP functions like HTTP GET and I am not sure if that is even applicable here. The internet tool kit doesnt seem to have an HTTP Get function like it does for FTP. I have heard rumors with an OpenG solution but I have not been able to locate it and I would rather use labVIEW functions/toolkits first before going that route (for collaborative maintainability of code).
If there are other solutions, how do they work? Are they easy to set up? Do you have an example VI?
Thanks in advance.
[will work for kudos]

What kind of cellular modem do you have? What is the data service your provider allows? There are various systems, network provider plans and more.
As I don't know where you are I can't give you specifics but here in Europe you have basically at least 4 different levels of mobile network data communication speed:
GPRS (GSM): (CS1: 9kb - CS4:21.4kb/s)
EDGE (GSM): (theoretically up to 128kb/s)
UMTS (384 Kb/s, and a maximum of 2Mb/s for a single application only)
HSDPA (UMTS): (3.6 and 7.2 Mb/s)
LTE (long term evolution and as the name indicates still mostly just vaporware, theoretically up to 100Mb/s)
Note that these datarates are all in bits/per seconds, and usually not fully usable due to network congestion. And they are also raw channel throughput. Any protocol such as TCP/IP does have a considerable overhead that will reduce the maximum possible netto data throughput further.
FTP is indeed not an ideal protocol to transmit a large number of files efficiently through limited throughput channels, but for a single file transfer the additional overhead should be not to bad.
But the first question is to find out what data rate service and plan you are using. Most industrial cellular modems nowadays still work on the GSM or equivalent level and therefore use data services such as GPRS and there you simply can't go higher than about 2 k Bytes per second.
Higher throughput services such as EDGE are not supported on all GSM networks and not by all modems. And if you want to go even higher than that, you need an entirely new type of modem and network based on the still not widely used UMTS or equivalent technology.

FTP List search for file in XI JavaMapping

I wonder if anyone has ever done a JavaMap in XI with a FTP List search for e.g. filename*.xml
With the standard FTP URLstring there is no * possible within the filename.
I have not found any documentation on this, how to do a FTP search for filename*.xml within a JavaMap.
This JavaMap works fine for picking up a file with the exact filename:
Do you know how to change the code to do this FTP list?
Thanks for any hints,

well, i think the best solution would be make a recursive search through the directory tree. I don't know if you are familiar to this, but the functions that searches for the file would look like this:
public String searchFile(String name) {
File[] roots = File.listRoots(); // List all file roots (in windows the different units, c:, d:, etc.)
for (int i = 0 ; i < roots.length() ; i++) {
 String aux = recursiveSearch(roots, name);
if (aux != null) { // If the "recursiveSearch" returns something different than null is that the file is founded, so we return the path.
return aux;
return null; // If we get there nothing has been found
private String recursiveSearch(File f, String name) { // f is the directory to search for the file with name "name"
File[] childs = f.listFiles();
for (int i = 0 ;i < childs.length ; i++) {
if (childs[i].isDirectory()) { // If that is a directory we search inside
String aux = recursiveSearch(childs[i], name);
if (aux != null) { // We have found it inside this directory
return aux;
} else { // Is a regular file
if (name.compareTo(childs[i].getName()) == 0) { // If the file is what we want we return his path
return childs[i].getCanonicalPath();
// If we get here is because the file is not inside the directory or any subdirectory on it
return null;
You should just call the function searchFile(name) with the name of the file you want to search. If it finds one with this name it will return his absolute path, and if he doesn't the desired file he will return null.
If you don't understand anything just ask.
(Note: i have not tested this code, so can be some mistakes, but it think it is almost correct. mmmhh don't now why, but [ & ] appear in my code as < & >. Just replace them.).
Hope that helps.

Receiver FTPS (Explicit) channel giving error while writing files.

Hi All,
We are facing an issue while using FTPS for writing a file to a partner location. Since this is the first time we are using FTPS, we went through some blogs and notes to configure the same, but still facing problems. Listed below are the steps undertaken for the configuration:
1. Got necessary ports opened on the firewall (the partner FTPS site uses explicit FTPS with control commands on port 21 and data on some custom ports).
2. Tested file transfer on FTPS using some FTPS client tools from the PI 7.11 server being used.
3. Uploaded the server SSL certificates in the NWA Keystore, Trusted CA view in both Base64 and normal formats (all certificates in the chain uploaded).
4. Configured the FTPS receiver channel for the CN name mentioned in the certificate, port 21, directory specified, NO X.509 client authentication (as that is not needed), AUTH TLS, USER,PASS,PBSZ,PROT as command order and using some authentication (user ID, Pwd for logging in).
But we are still getting the error:
'An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'xxxxxx.xxx.com:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Access denied.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor..'
On the partner side we could not find any logs and from PI too we are not getting any more details than mentioned above. CAn some let us know any known resolutions to the issue or how to get more details from the trace in PI (we have already increased the trace level of the file adapter to error but nothing more useful is available in Java default trace than mentioned above).
Appreciate any help extended towards this.
Thanks in advance,
Avishek.

Thank you all for your answers. I want to bring to your notice that the file transfer (using FTPS) is still working using commercially available FTP client tools from the PI server. So in my opinion issues like OS user not having authorization, incorrect user credentials and firewall issues are ruled out. We are facing issue only when using PI adapter for file transfer, this could be due to incorrect commands or command sequence being sent to the Server etc. which the server is rejecting and giving an unauthorized error.
We also tested this by giving incorrect pwd OR changing the command sequence, in which case the errors thrown were more specific and appropriate (like incorrect credentials OR AUTH TLS command missing).
The strange thing is that things work from the PI server when using FTP tools, but fails from PI adapters, which makes me feel there is some issue with the protocol or the setup.
Also please let me mention that we have ensured Java cryptographic toolkit is installed on the PI system being used.

FTP Receiver Adapter is completly ignoring the file content conversionurn..

Hi,
i'm picking up a flat file using the NFS adapter, the payload in the message monitoring looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns:MT_FILE xmlns:ns="urn:......">
<Record>
<Line>100221120100000000000000</Line>
<Line>100221120100000000000000</Line>
</Record>
</ns:MT_FILE>
I'm now writing this to an ftp server, message protovol is set to File Content Conversion and the conversion parameters are set to this:
Line.addHeaderLine 1
Line.fieldSeparator #
Record.fieldContentFormatting nothing
Line.fieldContentFormatting nothing
Record.fieldSeparator *
looks realy weired and is not really what is needed but i changed the parameters dramatically, but none of those conversion parameters are taken in effect.
The resulting files always looks the same, nor do i get a header line nor do i get the "weired" newline characters. i'm alway getten nl/0X0A as line separator.
What do i miss?

> You need to do content conversion for the nodes, not for the recordset.Remove Record conversion parameters and try.
This is wrong. It is the other way:
Use parameter
Record.addHeaderLine 1
When you want to have a different end-of-line cjaracter, you have to use the correct parameter
Record.endSeparator
Sometimes it really helps to look in online help.

I mistakenly saved a download, and checked the "always do this for thid type of file" now I cannot open a file without saving it first, because it does not take me to that same dialog box.

When you open a file from an email, you get a dialog box Open or Save this file. I wanted to save a particular file, so I clicked Save. The problem is, I had already clicked on "do this every time for files like this" so now it won't give me the dialog box back for when I just want to open a file, not save it. I have searched Options, to no avail.

'''''"always do this for thid type of file"''''' means exactly what it says: '''always''' .

FTP to Read content of Text/xml file

Hi,
I need a help for reading content of text/xml file through FTP. Below I just am explaining the scenario.
Our application server is in UNIX. Now we have to run a report program to access in to a FTP server which is in windows platform. Using FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND, FTP_DISCONNECT we are able to connect to FTP server and also able to copy files from FTP server to SAP application server. After copied in application server, we are able to read the content of the txt file in to internal table in ABAP program using OPEN DATASET. But our requirement is that we want to read the text or xml file content into internal table while accessing into FTP server from SAP application instead of after copying the file into application server.
So please help me to solve my problem.

Thank you Bala,
But can you help me what should I pass against FNAME and CHARACTER_MODE Import parameter? Should I pass the full path of the file with name or only I have to pass file name ? For example if my text file name in FTP Server is test.txt and the IP of the ftp server is 10.10.2.3 then should I pass the value against FNAME as '
10.10.2.3\xyz\text.txt' ? Here xyz is the name of the directory in C drive where test.txt is exist.
Please help me.

FTP: how to get total number of files in directory

Hello Folks,
I prefer to use FTP from the command line but cannot figure out how--after having connected to a remote directory via ftp--to list the total number of files in that directory.
In Unix, I would do this:
% ls | wc -l
But hopefully there is also some way in FTP to do the same--but darned if I know how! I do see that FTP clients such as Transmit have this listing, but maybe that's a feature of the software and not ftp.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/tips.
Doug

I've done a lot of ftp scripts 10 years ago, mostly because I could not guarantee my scripted telnet would be available everywhere. The best answer today though is listed throughout this thread and that is to use the ssh family of commands that include ssh for secure remote shell, scp for secure remote copy and sftp which is the ftp interface to scp.
My point is neither telnet or ftp are considered safe or secure anymore because listening to communications is popular, it is referenced in most "wizard" magazines, and usernames and passwords are not encrypted.
Set up your environment first with ssh-keygen. Version 2 is more secure than version 1 if both are still offered. Then use "ssh user@hostname ls | wc -l" to get your number of files. It is simple execution with one command and returns a status.
If you are really looking for a solution using what you are familar with and want to ignore advice concerning security, here is a sample batch script (untested). You can change the filenames, usernames, and hostnames as desired.
rm dir.out 2> /dev/null
echo "user sampleuser samplepw" > script.ftp
echo "dir sampledirectory dir.out" >> script.ftp
echo "quit" >> script.ftp
ftp -n sample.hostname < script.ftp
if [ ! -r dir.out ] # file not created
then
echo login failed
elif [ ! -s dir.out ] # file created but empty
then
echo directory is empty
else
nf=`wc -l dir.out | cut -f1`
echo "There are $nf files in the directory"
fi

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default('''This will NOT delete profile info such as bookmarks and history'''):
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Encryption/Decryption failure for pdf and MSWord files

Hi,
Is there anybody to help me to find out what is wrong with my class (listing below)? I am sucessfuly using this class to encrypt and decrypt txt, html files but for unknown reasons I am unable to use it for e.g. pdf files. The encrypion somehow works but any atempt to decrypt is a failure.

Please can u give me refined code for me///

Hi,
I found at least one thing wrong. In the decrypt
method you are reading from 'fInputStream_' rather
than 'dataInStream'.
Worked for me on MSWord after changing this!
Roger
// start reading from input and writing decrypted
ted data to output
while (true) {
inputLength_ = fInputStream_.read(input_);
if (inputLength_ ==-1) break;
byte[] output_ = cipher_.update(input_,
input_, inputOffset_, inputLength_);
if (output_ != null)
fOutputStream_.write(output_);

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
 We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
 xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
 OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
 docProc.process();
 PrintInvoiceThread :
 out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
 out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
 out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
 out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
 out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
 out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
 out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
 out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
 In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
 public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
 public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
 public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
 public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
 Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

HT201250 I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

iCloud is not compatible with Snow Leopard, that is your problem.
A quick way out is to purchase Soho Organizer which is compatible, even when running on Snow Leopard, it will correctly handle Contacts and Calendars from iCloud. $100, 2 user license.

There is a free trial if you want to try it.
