labviewでbluetoothとftp通信機能のあるエディション

[mkkkkk]

今度会社で、ボッシュのレーザー変位計のbluetooth用の通信アプリとクラウド用のftp(fntp)通信機能のアプリケーションを作成することになりました。
そこでなのですが、どのエディションにその機能がついているのでしょうか。

That inquiry is very terse and unclear.

Bluetooth support is only native in LabVIEW for the very old socket base Standard Bluetooth. That never really got widespread support and is nowadays to be considered a historical obscurity.

Pretty much all hardware nowadays implements some other form of Bluetooth, often BLE for portable devices or another variant. And there is not a really standardized interface that works for all of them.

As to FTP, that is an old, insecure network protocol that was supported in the old Internet Toolkit. NI has discontinued that since the implemented protocols were considered mostly insecure about a decennia ago already. I'm not sure you should base any new development on that. 

FNTP I can't place for the moment, it sounds like a variant of NTP, but what that would have to do with FTP eludes me.

Ahh I see it is specified in the ISO 29281 standard. Looks to me like one of those ISO standards where a committee spend a lot of time to come up with a new standard, partly based on existing Internet RFCs to specify a new, hard to understand protocol to create a solution that is looking for a problem. One of those standards that manufacturers can claim to support as an open standard, but that will be eventually implemented only by a few manufacturers and likely in ways that will only really work with their own products. As it is a new standard, yes 2018 is very new for such standards, and not widespread at all, you will likely have to implement it yourself in LabVIEW.

And fntp.global looks to me like a lot of hype and very little content. Before they are willing to open source their software I won't look at it. Also they seem to try to ride the crypto currency bandwagon to make a lot of cash.

Thank you for your reply.
I apologize for the confusion caused by my mistake. I meant SFTP, not FNTP. That was due to my lack of review before sending the message.

I thought it might be possible to achieve the functionality using LabVIEW Bluetooth VIs.

As for FTP and SFTP, I’m open to using any communication protocol that allows file transfers between a client and server on a computer network. I only mentioned FTP and SFTP because those are the two protocols I have experience with.

[rolfk · Accepted solution]

SFTP is possible with a Toolkit. Since LabVIEW 2021 there is also a limited support of SFTP built into LabVIEW. It may be sufficient if all you need is to upload or download files.

Other possible options:

https://lvs-tools.co.uk/software/encryption-compendium-labview-library/ I know this works and contains many more things encryption related.

https://labvolution.com/sftp-file-transfer-labview/ This looks older, not sure about their current support for this, so first inquire with them directly.

Or maybe SCP:
