SFTP EZ Receive.vi connector pane

Description

Perform a 1-step SFTP file download.

Changed in version 2.4: This function is now a pure-LabVIEW implementation. Prior to 2.4, this function called into a DLL function which would block the entire application and render the UI unusable until the download completed.

In 2.4, this function uses a pure-LabVIEW file transfer loop using low-level file transfer functions, so the application remains responsive, i.e. doesn’t appear frozen when transferring large files.

Inputs

cu64 LabSSH Session

Required:Yes

SSH session refnum.

cpath Local Path

Required:Yes

If this file exists, it will be overwritten.
