Issue Details

I'm trying to connect to a remote system using the SFPT VIs (the PuTTY one) but I keep getting this error:

Error -5580899 occurred at NI_SFTP.lvlib:Low Level Connection.lvclass:Interact with Subprocess.vi:3570001

Is there something else I should do?

Solution

This error is usually triggered when PuTTY, the SSH and Telnet client, is not installed on the host computer. Once PuTTY has been successfully installed and verified, restart the LabVIEW application. This ensures that LabVIEW recognizes the newly installed PuTTY components and incorporates them into the system's environment and with PuTTY installed and properly configured, the VI Connect (PuTTY).vi module should execute successfully without any further issues.

Additional Information

Ensure that the user account running LabVIEW has sufficient permissions to access and execute PuTTY. Administrative privileges may be required in some cases, especially during the installation of PuTTY or system environment configuration.
