I made this yesterday for someone -- it only does very basic checking (not really suitable for sending huge files), but might be of some use. I haven't actually tested it over the net (only locally via 127.0.0.1), but it 'should' work!
------
To run the demo...
Load both sources into the Blitz editor. Run one of them, then run the other within 10 seconds (default wait period). The file will be sent between the two.
To use in real life, you'll need the IP address of the computer sending the file. Call ReceiveNetFile with this IP address, then have the sender call SendNetFile (obviously requires a bit of communication between the PCs to time things right). The computer calling ReceiveNetFile will save a copy as named.
; Waits for up to 'timeout' seconds for incoming connection on given port,
; and sends named file if it gets one...
Function SendNetFile (file$, port = 9999, timeout = 10000)
server = CreateTCPServer (port)
If server
timer = MilliSecs ()
Repeat
incoming = AcceptTCPStream (server)
If incoming
file = ReadFile (file$)
If file
Repeat
WriteByte incoming, ReadByte (file)
Until Eof (file)
CloseFile file
complete = True
EndIf
CloseTCPStream incoming
Else
Delay 500
EndIf
Until (incoming) Or (MilliSecs () > timer + timeout)
CloseTCPServer server
EndIf
Return complete
End Function
; D E M O . . .
; Send test.txt to any incoming connection made within 'timeout' period...
If SendNetFile ("test.txt")
Notify "File sent!"
Else
Notify "File not sent!"
EndIf
Function ReceiveNetFile (ip$, savefile$, port = 9999, timeout = 10000)
timer = MilliSecs ()
Repeat
incoming = OpenTCPStream (ip$, port)
If incoming
save = WriteFile (savefile$)
If save
Repeat
WriteByte save, ReadByte (incoming)
Until Eof (incoming)
CloseFile save
complete = True
EndIf
CloseTCPStream incoming
Else
Delay 500
EndIf
Until (incoming) Or (MilliSecs () > timer + timeout)
Return complete
End Function
; D E M O . . .
; Receive file from IP address 127.0.0.1 and save as temp.txt...
If ReceiveNetFile ("127.0.0.1", "temp.txt")
Notify "File received!"
Else
Notify "File not received!"
EndIf
