Send a file in blocks

[tracker52]

I'm sending a large file in blocks. When it gets to the client how do I write to the file? Do I open the file with a wrtie and then next time it gets called make sure it only appends?

I'm sending the file using a byte array, but when I writing to the file I'm using a string from the winsock.GetData.

On the other side, after you get the string, convert it into a byte array, then stick it in the file.

'assuming you had a binary file open with handle 1, and strData is the incoming data string
Dim abyteBuffer() As Byte
abyteBuffer = StrConv(strData, vbFromUnicode)
Put #1, , abyteBuffer

You'll probably want to have the file opened from outside the DataArrival event, and then close it when you're done, otherwise you'll have to track where the last file writing operation took place, reopen the file, and seek to that position before writing again.
