remote front panel

[Jellyfish]

Hi, I'm new to labview. Now i have a program which is running in server mode. The application also build for the remote front panel. So my question is whether the client use the remote front panel to download the require file from the server to client computer under different 2 networks ? Thank you.

Remote front panel is for monitoring or controlling the front panel of vi in the browser.

Frequent snapshots of the vi can also be sent to the browser[Monitoring]

Please explain clearly.VI running in server mode means??? usingTCP???

File you want to download means, are you asking like FTP??

Also two different networks means?? not in LAN??

On the server make your application as a web service, stream your file on the network. On the client machines, make simple web page from which use can save file from server machine. 

2 different network, It means there are 2 servers and if they communicate each other, then you can share remote panel from one server and clients of other server can access it.

My main vi is just displaying data in graph where data are from MODBUS module which using LAN port. The main vi will gain all the data and generate a file (such as Excel file) after clicked a button. This file is generated at the server computer. With this function, i also published the front panel into web which is remote front panel. So now i want to generate the excel file by using another computer (client computer) access through the remote front panel to generate the file and the file is save to the client computer. The two different networks i mean was the server computer and the client computer is not connected under same network. So i want ask that whether remote front panel can do this function or not? If yes, then how to do it? Sorry that let you confuse

Hi Puneet,

  I have understood the web service part, but didnt try it anymore, let me give a try and come back.

Can you please explain more about Remote front panel between two servers?

[Puneet_K]

You must have client and server in same network or internet, then only client can access remote panel.

Hi Puneet

So if how about the client and server are not in the same network or internet, will the client can download file through the remote front panel ?

[Aarthi_Arvindh]

It is not possible when they are not in same network.Try to do port forwarding from router.

Also as puneet said, file transfer can be done with

streaming in web service
