Is there a way that VDSNET.dll could send a bin or other type of file over net/lan?

Maybe some how take an type of file, and send each line of data to other user, like a chat program, then the other client put all the data back into a file and save?

Can it be done?

I know another way. Make a server with the vdshttpd.dll & a DLL like vdsinet, and make a client with only vdsinet. Then send the URL where you can download the file to the client, and then download it...

Thats a great idea, but theres a problem.
What if client 2 wanted to send a file back to client 1?

Use binfile in ascii mode, send each line via TCP until you reach the end of the file. You then on the client end need to re-assemble each line to make the file. Rmember tho that you need to check that the lines are received in order. To do this you can place a string at the begining of each line you send, something like>

LINE 1|FILE.DSR|24324242434244234324234424324243

Where the first part tells what line is being sent, the file name, and then teh ascii data of line 1.

The client program can then tell if all lines are sent, if not the client program cna query teh server to send a line missed in the case it was missed (using tcp there is a less likely chance you will miss a line being sent/received). You can also do a md5 sum on the entire line to make sure it's being received non-corrupted.

Thats a good idea, i will have to look into that one and the md5 dll.

The VDSMD5.DLL is part of the VDSDLL3.DLL just in case you can't find it. Wink
