You can find the VI by opening LabVIEW 6.0 >> help >> examples >> communication >> datasocket >> ds writer.vi. You can also just remove it as I mentioned in the last posting and launch datasocket server manually.
I chose to read the file as characters out of convienice. This does not mean that the VI is limited to text files. You should be able to open any file, interpreted the data as characters, send the characters, receive the characters, write the data to file, and have the identical file on the receiving side. If you perfer, you can change the method of reading the file to read it as an array of u8s or i8s--it does not matter because you are not interpreting the data in LabVIEW. All you need is a data type that will hold your file data for transmission.
