The G Web Server provides full Web Server functionality, including CGI scripting and access rights for files and directories. The G Web Server allows you to make VIs interactive on the Web, regardless of the availability of a client LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. The Web Server that ships with LabVIEW is designed primarily to show front panels and does not support CGI. Both servers allow you to publish VIs with the Web Publishing Tool. If you publish a VI as a remote front panel, you can interact with the VI across the Web without any additional programming, but you must install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on the client machine before you can view embedded remote front panels on Web pages. Refer to the Remote Front Panels Web pages (linked below) for more information about how to use remote front panels.
