FTP file from PXI to PC using put

[GregFreeman]

I am trying to put a file from a PXI chassis to a PC. I think the issue may lie in the fact that I am using the RT as the host, but trying to send the file to the PC. However, when I try to log on using the PC as the host, I don't have the correct username and password. Suggestions? Using the below method, I don't get an error, the file just never shows up on the host. 

On a side note, I need to use a put and cannot use a get from the PC due to handshaking issues between the PXI chassis and other hardware. Using a get would add an entire other level of handshaking between the host and RT which I am trying to avoid.

Aside from that, is File Transfer option set in MAX?

If all else fails, another option is, if the file isn't too large, you could send it to the PC via Shared Variable. Perhaps convert it to binary first, then back again on PC.

I have Windows XP pro so I used the article below to set up an FTP server on XP. I then can connect to that from RT and transfer the file. Also, I had slashes the wrong way in my RT file path, which returned an error from the "file error" output of the FTP VI, but not the other error out. I wasn't merging errors in my test VI so I didn't realize this.
