  • I want to communicate with a remote client via SSH using LabVIEW, but I cannot find any tools to implement this. 

Solution

LabVIEW 2021 is the first version to include support for SFTP and SSH. You will see these libraries in the Data Communication>>Protocols palette.

Earlier versions of LabVIEW require a 3rd party package for SFTP and SSH support. A number of vendors offer libraries, including:
