Well I ended up applescripting the files from my labview computer to the server as you don't seem to be able to put a path in labview with commas and get things written to the unix server. I browsed for the unix folder using safari. it gave me this.
file:///private/var/automount/Network/Servers/acts erver1.cbl.umces.edu/local/apache/htdocs/Alliance /MidAtlantic/buoyimages/salin2.jpg I went and put this in the path control in the jpeg vi and alas it didn't work. So I changed everything to commas and this didn't work either. Perhaps it is a mounting problem. I need to send from the labview to here. Thanks for your suggestions though.
