posted October 26, 2009 6:41 AM Hi I am playing with the OTP example. What I need to do is for the client to initiate a file copy. The server creates an xml file and the client needs to copy it to the local computer to be opened by another application. To get around firewalls I need to be able to initiate the copy from the client and return the file on the same port. Does anyone have an example or an idea how I might do this. Thanks. |

posted October 26, 2009 9:57 AM Hi, You have to have a protocol that the client and server follow. Here is a simple, no-frills example: The client connects to the server and sends a filename, followed by a terminating character or sequence. It posts a Receive, waiting for the file's data. The server receives the filename and opens the file with a FileStream. Data is sent to the client as it is read. When finished, the server closes the connection. The client writes the data to a FileStream as it receives it. When the connection closes, it closes the FileStream. Hope it helps, -ken ------ |
