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 object

Receiving

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
