Have you done all of the following?

Put in your team number and file name into the options for the FIRST downloader
Ensured that your IP address of the computer you're trying to push code from is on the same subnet as the robot
Ensured that the robot responds to a ping request

[splatter]

Yes we Have done the following

Can you FTP into the cRIO? The downloader just transfers files over FTP. Try typing ftp://10.your.teamnumber.2 into a browser and seeing if you get anything while connected to the cRIO.

I ran into the same problem yesterday, I was able to communicate in every way with the cRio and ftp code over but the windriver deploy function was simply not working.

[splatter]

yes same thing i see the c-rio in wind river and can connect to it but can not transfer code

[William Kunkel]

If you can FTP into the cRIO, you don't strictly need the deploy function, you can transfer over the code by hand. But it would be nice to figure out the problem.

it shows the ftp but no space to transfer code it just shows me the files which are already on the c-rio.

by the way i am using work bench 3.0

[William Kunkel]

If you want to transfer the files yourself using FTP, you'll need an FTP client. I recommend FileZilla. Sadly, I can't remember the exact location you need to put the .out file in right now, and I can't check our cRIO until tomorrow.

thanks every one for all the input in the end we were able to get it to work.

[William Kunkel]

You should tell us how, so that other people can fix it if the have the same problem.

you'll need an FTP client. I recommend FileZilla.

Windows Explorer has half-decent built in FTP support.

Windows Explorer has half-decent built in FTP support.

The download half. How do you send a file using IE's FTP?

[Mark McLeod]

I drag and drop using an ftp session opened in Windows Explorer to get files to the cRIO.

[Alan Anderson]

Oops, I misread "Windows Explorer" as "Internet Explorer". Silly me.
