Re: about transfering files through sockets.......

Hi,
Transferring the file over a socket is very simple.
I guess you need to have a client which demand for a
file and the server which will send the required file.
You can use following steps

So when you want to send a file you can use the rwo
method.
1. Read the data from the file in chunks (using read)
and write this chunk to the socket. On Client side
read the chunk and write the received chunk to the
file
2. Use the sendfile() function on server to send the
file at once to the client.


What you need to do is first set up a protocl to
transfer the name of the file.
