NX - access files on FTP via HTTP

Guessing this is a long shot but... Is there a way on the NX platform to view/download the files that show up on the root of the FTP via HTTP?

    Yes.
    If you watch an FTP session log, you'll see that an FTP connection to the NetLinx is automatically changed to the working directory "doc:user"... so if you type the Netlinx IP with that extension, you find your files listed.

    This example results from the netlinx url as http://192.168.1.201/doc:user/

    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, does not seem to work in my case (NX running v1.6.175). I just get a 404 at that URL.

    Wonder if that was an NI-only thing?

    I tried using your method to get additional info but this is all I get in the FTP log:

    Status: Resolving address of [name]
    Status: Connecting to [IP]:21...
    Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
    Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.
    Status: Logged in
    Status: Retrieving directory listing...
    Status: Calculating timezone offset of server...
    Status: Timezone offset of server is 0 seconds.
    Status: Directory listing of "/" successful

    ...and of course, http://[IP]/ is just the main login page.

    Yes, I just tried on an NX and got exactly what you did. Sorry.
    I tried a variety of path attempts. Nope.

    Okay thanks for checking. Guessing it was removed in the name of "security"...
