Sendfile Via Winsock - Rezeyu - 06-05-2008
I've seen a ton of sample code, and snippets, but I'm really bad with networking (Even outside Winsock)
How would I send a file as a string (binary right?) then receive it on the client's end?
Re: Sendfile Via Winsock - Pbcrazy - 06-05-2008
now i cant get it to work all of the time but i now most of the syntax for it
say you made your server stuff and made your winsock and named it SockMain then you would prolly want to prep your data if your are doing packets (like the way Mirage does) if not then you can just skip this step
Code:
Dim Packet as string
Dim SentData as string
SentData = this is where you could either say it would come directly from a text box or label or you could have it as a variable for the sub this is in
Packet = "Whateveryourpacketnameshouldbe" & SEP_CHAR & SentData & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR
SockMain(Index).SendData Packet 'now im not sure exaclty about the index but i think thats how you do itnow youll want to go to your client and make another winsock and well call it SockMain too
this would go with the rest of the coding for the form that your winsock is on
Code:
Private Sub sockMain_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
sockMain.GetData strData, vbString
Call HandleData(bytesTotal)
End Subnow i usually put this in modClientTCP but you dont have to
Code:
Sub HandleData(ByVal Data As String)
Dim Msg As String
Dim Parse() As String
If Parse(0) = "Whateveryourpacketnameshouldbe" Then
Msg = Parse(1)
Call DoWhatEverWithMsgData(Msg)
End If
End Suband here are some tuts on another site that i find useful
a simple client server

a multiple client server

hope this helps

Thanks, but I know how to use it for string packet data, I'm unsure of how to write the data to a file in image format.

Just use Inet.
Re: Sendfile Via Winsock - Rezeyu - 06-05-2008
I don't know how to use Inet for a PC, if they aren't set up as a web server.
