TCP Send and TCP Receive (Example 2) — at Initial Version

Reported by: AoRaToS Owned by:
Milestone: Component: Documentation
Version: 3.3.10.2 Severity: None
Keywords: TCPSend, TCPRecv Cc:

Description

Hello,

There is an issue with the examples in these 2 functions. The server is also the one sending the file so there is a mistake. TCP Receive is the one that should be started first and wait for a connection. Then you run TCP Send and choose a file to send. Once TCP Receive sees the connection it asks where to save the file.
The functions should be updated as below i believe. Tested and working. I have also updated the comments at the top to be correct.

TCP Send:

; I am the client, start me after the server! (First start example 2 of the TCPRecv function).

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()

; Assign a Local variable the path of a file chosen through a dialog box.
Local $sFilePath = FileOpenDialog("Select a file to send", @MyDocumentsDir, "All types (*.*)", BitOR($FD_FILEMUSTEXIST, $FD_PATHMUSTEXIST))
Local $iError = 0

; Note: Choose a file bigger than 4 kiB otherwise the first example is enough.

; If an error occurred display the error code and return False.
If @error Then

$iError = @error
MsgBox(BitOR($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $MB_ICONEXCLAMATION), "", "Server:" & @CRLF & "Invalid file chosen, Error code: " & $iError)
Return False

EndIf

TCPStartup() ; Start the TCP service.

; Register OnAutoItExit to be called when the script is closed.
OnAutoItExitRegister("OnAutoItExit")

; Assign Local variables the loopback IP Address and the Port.
Local $sIPAddress = "127.0.0.1" ; This IP Address only works for testing on your own computer.
Local $iPort = 65432 ; Port used for the connection.

; Assign a Local variable the socket and connect to a listening socket with the IP Address and Port specified.
Local $iSocket = TCPConnect($sIPAddress, $iPort)
Local $iError = 0

; If an error occurred display the error code and return False.
If @error Then

; The server is probably offline/port is not opened on the server.
$iError = @error
MsgBox(BitOR($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $MB_ICONHAND), "", "Client:" & @CRLF & "Could not connect, Error code: " & $iError)
Return False

EndIf

; Assign a Local variable the size of the file previously chosen.
Local $iFileSize = FileGetSize($sFilePath)

; Assign a Local variable the handle of the file opened in binary mode.
Local $hFile = FileOpen($sFilePath, $FO_BINARY)

; Assign a Local variable the offset of the file being read.
Local $iOffset = 0

; Assign a Local variable the number representing 4 KiB.
Local Const $i4KiB = 4096

; Note: The file is send by parts of 4 KiB.

; Send the binary data of the file to the server.
Do

; Set the file position to the current offset.
FileSetPos($hFile, $iOffset, $FILE_BEGIN)

; The file is read from the position set to 4 KiB and directly wrapped into the TCPSend function.
TCPSend($iSocket, FileRead($hFile, $i4KiB))

; If an error occurred display the error code and return False.
If @error Then

$iError = @error
MsgBox(BitOR($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $MB_ICONHAND), "", "Server:" & @CRLF & "Could not send the data, Error code: " & $iError)

; Close the socket.
TCPCloseSocket($iSocket)
Return False

EndIf

; Increment the offset of 4 KiB to send the next 4 KiB data.
$iOffset += $i4KiB

Until $iOffset >= $iFileSize

; Close the file handle.
FileClose($hFile)

; Tell the client the file is fully sent with a code.
TCPSend($iSocket, @CRLF & "{EOF}")

; Display the successful message.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Server:" & @CRLF & "File sent.")

; Close the socket.
TCPCloseSocket($iSocket)
