FTP Get File.vi not responding

I'm trying to use the vi "FTP Get File.vi" (from the internet toolkit) to retrieve a specific file from an ftp site. Pn;y that for the moment. The FTP site is set up, and I checked and double checked that it was working fine (using filezilla) and that the stated directories and files are correctly spelled, etc.  When I run the attached vi I get a darkened a darkened arrow icon indicating the program is running, No errors are generated.  If I change ANYTHING on the remote path, such as an incorrect spelling of the name of the file I want to download, I do get an error and the program stops.  Evidently it knows the file is there, but something is not working.  I include in the attached  vi the information including the password for the remote ftp site to make it easier to test although you will probably have to creat a local directory to recieve the copies file at "C:\TELEMEDICINE" or else edit the local path however you want.  I will change the site pw, and perhaps the name after we get this figured out, but I figured it might make helping me easier for now.  Possibly I am misunderatnding soemthing about how this vi is suppse to be used, but I have read the help docimentation, and everything similar I could find onf the web. Possibly it is something stupid.
Some other related information that may or may not help. 
(0) I tried the FTP browser vi which is one of the example vis included with labview (do a search on "FTP" under examples),  It worked great - just like filezilla, so the toolkit is working.
(1) The remote file is a .lvm data file, and is pretty small - 124kb.  So if the file transfer is working it should take a very short time (as it does using filzilla).
(2) I did try letting the program run for many minutes on the outside chance something was very slow, but the local file never appeared anywhere, and the program was just frozen in RUN mode, but no errors ever so long as I have the remore path correct, as I stated above.
(3) I checked and made sure the security permissions were set (I'm only using windows firewall and security on the local computer).  Labview had full permissions.
(4) I'm using labview 2009, but I got all the  update disks.  Not sure if I bothered to go through the full update on this computer (I thought I did but it still says 2009),  Probavly doesn';tmatter either way.

I do specify the whole file path complete with name of the file and it extension
(see original post attachment). Is that what you are referring to?
I suppose I should update with some more recent information here to save people some
time. The problem is NOT solved at all, so I would still appreciate any info
that may help. However we now know that the program works exactly the same,
apparently, for me (on a VISTA machine and a Windows 7 machine) and for Frank
from tech support.  The program works sometimes, and then inexplicably
stops working. The timings of these failure don't appear to be connected to
anything we did - things stop working for a good while, but after doing nothing. For example while the computer is sleeping.  I haven’t determined if  the “freeze ups” happen on on different computers all at
the same time. I’m working on that one.
So, the conclusion is that it must (used advisedly) be something related to
the only common factors – either the ftp server on my web provider, or that the
vis in question are not quite right and this only shows up now and then for
some reason.   I believe that I set everything up correctly on the
ftp site I haven’t changed anything lately, and have used numerous FTP
browsers, such as Filezilla with that site for a very long time (years) 
with no issues ever. It is hard to think of a locus for the source of the
problem other than one of those two.
I'm planning to call the company serving my ftp site at some point, but what
am I going to ask them other than if my ftp site is configured correctly? It
says it is. It has always worked. It works using the labview example browser
(which uses different vis), even when the "FTP Get file.vi" and FTP
Get Buffer.vi" do not work at the same moment.

  • Ftp get file without extension

    Hi
    I'm trying to use the sample code from http://blog.dbandbi.com/tag/ssis-script-task-check-if-file-exists-c/
    public void Main()
    string userName = Dts.Variables["User::userName"].Value.ToString();
    string password = Dts.Variables["User::password"].Value.ToString();

    Dts.Variables["User::isFileExists"].Value = true;
    catch
    Dts.Variables["User::isFileExists"].Value = false;
    Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
    but I'm having problems because the files are in unix format and they don't have extension. I  tried using filename*.* and filename*  but I always get "file does not exist".  What I'm trying to do is to know if the file created by
    another process has been freed so I can download it.
    thanks in advance

    If no extension then check for the exact name. It must not matter. When you connect to the site using non SSIS facilities, do you see the file there? Wildcards do not work AFAIK.
    Basically, you need a directory listing to determine what files exist. You can run a remote dir command and save its output to a file or variable to skim thru.

  • FTP Get File List Action Block, It's double listing files!  ver 11.5

    Hi guys.. I have a good one!   I have an FTP Get File List action block in my BLS transaction.  Occasionally, it double lists the files in its output.   For testing I put a repeater with a logevent output where I log the filename, date, and size.  Heres what I saw for my action block output.
    2009-02-13 00:38:00,963  [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
    2009-02-13 00:38:00,963  [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
    This is xMII  version 11.5.6 b73  with java 1.4.2_07
    I have a workaround by putting in a distinct action block, after the filelist, but anybody have an idea why this might happen?   My theory is that something might be occuring if the file is being written to while we try to process it, but not sure. 
    I've been building BLS parsers since 2003, (Remember those fun times with Jeremy?)   I've never seen this happen.

    My example is a sample log file before the distinct action.  The general log shows nothing other than the subsequent transaction errors I get as a result of running the same error twice (Tcode return from BAPI calls etc)
    Here is something else interesting..  my userlog file is acting funny, like its trying to write on top of itself.  could it be the transaction is actually running twice or parts of it? 
    For example look at the following log entries
    This is how my log file entry for a production confirmation should look
    2009-02-13 00:38:06,854 [LHScheduler-Int10_NestingWOProdConf] INFO   UserLog - [UserEvent] :
    However sometimes... its looking like this...
    2009-02-13 2009-02-13 00:38:11,854 [LHScheduler-Int10_NestingWOProdConf] INFO   UserLog - [UserEvent] :
    Like it started writing to the log, then started again.
    The problem we are having is that we have JCO calls to SAP in this transaction that does goods movement, we get locking / block errors back from our  saying that we (our sap account) is already updating the information.   Sometimes the information would be posted twice!  You can see how this has become a HUGE issue posting data to a LIVE system twice.
    This is happening on 2 xMII servers.

    I am on Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)and keep getting Safari is not responding?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Keep getting Mozilla Firefox (not responding) arrow takes 40 sec. to move same with scrolling....tried safe mode...still not working

    zzxc suggested safe mode....tried it but still get the same not responding and SLOW arrow commands...loading circle showing before moving arrow.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a week or so

    me too !
    but it only started happening just after the latest update,
    and of course firefox can not expect people to remove their security, windows defender nor firewalls in order to use their products - that's silly.
    so now,when i finally get frustrated, i have to use chrome or IE
    ... actually it just happened right now so I am off to chrome

  • I am getting "dns server not responding"

    I am staying in a hotel and my 3gs iphones keep getting "dns server not responding"  my computers work fine in my room.  My iphones don't but if I walk out in the hallway the iphones work fine. Help?

    Found what was the problem on my configuration.
    Since NLB VIP did not respond when traffic was going from other networks (Internet  included) i had to reconfigure NLB from unicast to multicast. Then thing started to work but i had DNS resolution error.
    Solution:
    A BUG! When you change NLB cluster type, ipv6 that is configured on it gets removed so you have to enter it again. That's the same IPV6 IP under Infrastructure servers - DNS that ends with :3333::1 for your .domain.local

  • Invoke a FTP "Get File" operation throws java.lang.ClassCastException:

    Hi there,

    When I deploy and run the SIMPLE project, it throws the following exception.
    I am wondering if any of you experienced the same problem and how to resolve the issue. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Take a look at the stack trace, it shows you exactly where the error is coming from:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: org.theclass.candidate.view.SearchForm
    org.theclass.candidate.view.CandidateListAction.execute(CandidateListAction.java:41)Line 41 in your CandidateListAction.
    Probably it is failing on a cast of your action form.
    Taking a closer look at your struts-config, you are "chaining" actions.
    Your AddCandidateAction uses the candidateForm, and forwards to CandidateListAction.do
    Your CandidateListAction uses the searchForm.
    That will be the cause of your class cast exception.
    <action path="/Add"
      name="candidateForm"
      type="org.theclass.candidate.view.AddCandidateAction"
      validate ="true"
      input="/jsp/addcandidate.jsp">
      <forward name="success" path="/CandidateList.do"/>
    </action>
    <action path="/CandidateList"
    type="org.theclass.candidate.view.CandidateListAction"
    name="searchForm"
    scope="request" >
    <forward name="failure" path="/jsp/list.jsp"/>
    <forward name="success" path="/jsp/candidatelist.jsp"/>
    </action>Check out: http://struts.apache.org/1.x/faqs/newbie.html#chaining
    Solutions?
    - don't chain actions ;-)
    - use the same action form for both actions (possible?)
    - make the actionForward a "redirect" one. That means a new request, and losing any request parameters/attributes but should prevent this class cast exception.

  • Why do I get Mozilla Firefox not responding when I have Adobe Flash Player

    Up until both Adobe and Mozilla Firefox updated I had full use of my computer. Now, with with both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash player I get the response "Mozilla Firefox not responding" I have eliminated all my plug ins and the computer is just fine until I enable Adobe Flash Player.

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    Open the options of your anti-virus, and tell it to leave the browsers alone.
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

  • Get files options - not very usefull

    I'm building a site which i work on from 2 different pc's, so
    befeore every work on the site, i do synchronize sitewide.
    Then sometimes i get the result - no sync is neccesry - which
    i know is not true, since i've just updated a few files from the
    other pc.
    But most of the time it shows the right files which have been
    updated so i press ok and the files are beeing downloaded to my
    pc(atleast thats what it shows).
    When the d\l proccess is over i compare the files to the
    those on the site, and they do not match - like it never really
    downloaded anything.
    Same error i get when i use the get files button, its shows
    the download proccess, but nothing acctually beeing download.
    Any suggestion?

    I always just select all the files and GET them.

  • Updated software now getting app (85) not responding

    Helps appreciated on this.
    Blackberry 8800, had it for years.  I did a sofware update which resulted in two error codes. In view of this I reinstalled the previous sofware but still had same errors.
    I have now gone back to the updated software so currently on: V4.5.0.174
    The errors I am getting are:
    ''uncaught exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException''
    and
    ''uncaught exception: Application net-rim-bb-messaging-app(85) is not responding''
    The impact is on the email boxes which either won't open or are painfully slow so unusable.
    Having done a search on similar issues someone had recommended deleting bb messenger as it could be a conflict.  I have tried that and it is just the same.
    Getting desperate now, so any suggestions would be very welcome.

Maybe you are looking for
