Socket Programming for file transfer

[Vasudevan MV]

Hi,

I have to write a socket program in c/c++ for copying a file from one box to another remote box.

Is it safe method to copy a file?
Can any one show me the sample programs for this?.

Thanks
Vasu

Hi


The method is certainly valid.

Goto www.software.hp.com

select public domain software


There you will find a large list of programs
with sources to do all sorts of things.

example

rsync-2.5.4
A replacement for rcp that has many more features. Rsync uses the rsync algorithm which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files.

Harry,

The reason is Steve's answer is not fully satisfied, still I am waiting for some more better responses. Sorry, sometimes I forgot to assign points.

Thanks
