QUOTE (LV_FPGA_SE @ Oct 22 2008, 06:07 PM) Untill now I've managed to convert the file into a large datastring. But when I want to make a new file with this datastring, the new file becomes unreadable. (I've tested it with docx, jpg and zip files). You can find this process in the attached VI file... Since I'm not common to work with reading and writing files I don't seem to find the problem... (Maybe I forgot somekind of parameter) Thanks for the replies!

Hello everybody... I'm working on a project in LabVIEW right now. The main idea is to send (large) files, of any sort, with a UDP multicast to multiple devices. I thought the main idea was quite simple but I can't seem to get it right. The main idea I tried to manage is to convert a file to a large string and to send that string in small pieces to the receivers over a multicast address. Apparently I don't seem to manage this at all... Does anyone know how I should read in a file (could be anything, from .iso to .jpg, .zip,...) and prepare it for the UDP multicast? Once I can manage this, I'm going to start worrying about the loss of packets because of UDP... It would be great to get thru this because it would reduce the networkload when many computers need the same large file from a server. Thanks in advance! Kind regards.
