Issue Details

I'm using FTP to share files between different systems. Due to security issues, I need to use a secure connection to transfer files. I'm looking for FTP over TLS as the replacement for FTP. Is there a built-in implementation for this alternative?

Solution

There is no built-in implementation for FTP over TLS in LabVIEW. The direct replacement for FTP is WebDAV for LabVIEW 2020 and later or SFTP starting in LabVIEW 2021. 

These functions can be found in the Data Communications > Protocols > WebDAV & Data Communications > Protocols > SFTP palettes.
