FileTransfer
A python module that makes file transfer slightly easier
Syntax
FileTransfer.send(filepath="", socket=s) : Returns void
FileTransfer.receive(socket=s) : Returns bytes
Usage
Sending
import socket
import FileTransfer as ft
# Setup socket for use in file transfer
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect("ip.address", port)
ft.send(filepath, s) # Specify filepath as str and use client socket objectReceiving
import socket
import FileTransfer as ft
# Setup simple socket receive
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind(("0.0.0.0", port))
s.listen(1)
conn, addr = s.accept()
result = ft.receive(conn) # Invoke receive function
# Result is a tuple with the file contents being index 0 and filename being index 1
print("Filename: ", result[1], "File Contents: ", result[0])Protocol (TCP)
| Filename Length | Filename | Payload Length (File Contents Length) | Payload (File Contents) |
|---|---|---|---|
4 Bytes |
Filename encoded (utf8) |
4 bytes |
Payload bytes |
