To be honest, I believe it wasn't being placed in the right area of the code.

Can you show me what you mean?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, I've never had to deal with TCP sockets like this -reading and writing a file is as close as I've gotten to this :>

Forgive me, wasn't the point of this new method, given the prior results, to not use fcopy?

Unfortunately that made it much much slower :<

Thanks user and nml375, your help is much appreciated.

The code is working. I'm currently sending a 700mb file to the bot from a local client, but the transfer speed is only about 70kB/s

Any ideas on how to improve this? I would expect the transfer to be a lot faster than that...

Ah yes, I've changed little bits and pieces in this code for days now trying to work out why it isn't working, but to no avail. I did have them declared with 'global', perhaps just not in that example. CopyMore doesnt seem to be looping properly. In CopyMore, i've added a: puts $in $total, as acknow...

You're right, the script does seem to wait forever. I've removed vwait, and it no longer does this, but CopyMore seems to still not run. Can you clarify your point of namespaces, and offer advice as to what to do to get this working? I used file writes in bgerror to ensure that if the eggdrop itself...

It shall also be noted, that my bgerror code shown here, has not produced anything in bgerror.txt thus far.

But I need something to call the event loop, this is the reason I'm using vwait...

Can you see what is wrong with the code I've pasted, or suggest another method to try?

I really seem to be getting nowhere fast.

Ok, so I have an update. I'm using fcopy, but the callback proc doesn't appear to be running, or I'm having mixed results (ie. the last block isn't copied). Also, I just read http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=11518 and am now worried about this implementation. If I use vwait during the transf...

Ok, I used the code example you gave me, and also from the FCOPY man page. The file is transferring, but I'm not getting an acknowledgement of a successful transfer. I initially wasn't declaring the variable "done" as global, so when I added that (in sockConnected), the CopyMore proc was r...

user you are a champion, your help is much appreciated.

Whilst I've scripted for quite a few years now, I've never really had to play with sockets so no doubt I will need a bit more help along the way, but you have definitely given me enough to start with.

I've seen some of your posts on this forum, and to be honest I was hoping you may be the one who replied to this :> It's the TCP/File bits of this that I'm not up with; As far as I know, DCC requires acknowledgements (every 2K) where the file is written in blocks, as opposed to a streamed connection...

Hi, I am wanting to write some code whereby an eggdrop can accept DCC SENDs to it. However, the Filesys module is not approriate, for a few reasons: a). I do not want to use the eggdrop userfile for matching, but rather SQL b). I need to screen what files will be accepted (sizes, file types, source)...
