Owning Palette: Protocols VIs and Functions
Requires: Full Development System. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.
Use the WebDAV VIs to transfer files securely to and from a WebDAV server. Web Distributing Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) allows you to store, edit, and manage documents and files on a web server or web share.
The WebDAV palette includes the more advanced WebDAV Synchronous and WebDAV Asynchronous subpalettes. You can use the VIs on these advanced subpalettes to complete processes that the basic WebDAV VIs cannot, such as copying and deleting files and obtaining directory and path information.
Although both the synchronous and asynchronous VIs allow you to complete similar processes, asynchronous VIs allow you to run multiple requests in parallel. However, asynchronous VIs may be more difficult to use. Consider using synchronous VIs if you do not need to run multiple requests in parallel.
| Palette Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Simple Get | Returns a file or multiple files or the raw binary contents of a file or multiple files from a remote WebDAV server or target. You must manually select the polymorphic instance you want to use. |
| Simple Put | Uploads a file or multiple files to a remote WebDAV server or target. You must manually select the polymorphic instance you want to use. |
| Subpalette | Description |
|---|---|
| WebDAV Asynchronous VIs | Use the WebDAV Asynchronous VIs to securely manage files on and transfer files to and from a target using an asynchronous interface. |
| WebDAV Synchronous VIs | Use the WebDAV Synchronous VIs to securely manage files on and transfer files to and from a target using a synchronous interface. |
