I am using the NI industrial controller to synchronize several devices and I am using a PC to monitor the controller. All the data I get are saved on the controller remotely. I try to change the address to my PC, but I get a permission error. How can I set it to allow saving files to my PC directly?

What does this have to do with LabVIEW?

Your Industrial Controller have Intel Processors running either Windows Embedded Standard 7 or NI Linux Real-Time. They can connect to a LAN and use TCP/IP to communicate with other PCs on the Network. Best of all, they run LabVIEW.
To save your data files on another PC, you have a variety of options. The simplest might be to save the data on the Controller, then use FTP to transfer (copy) the files to the PC "offline". If you want to make the PC the primary place where the data are stored, you could design your Controller software to save the data directly to the PC, perhaps using the LabVIEW's Network Streams protocol.

Thank you. I know how to copy the files "offline". I will try the figure out the Network Streams protocol.
