Network File While

It would be nice to see something like the following functionality:

  WHILE ReceiveNetworkFile(ConnectionID, FileName, *Status)

      MessageRequester("Status", "Current File Size: " + Str(Status), 0)

      Delay(1000)



  WEND

Basically you can use RecieveNetworkFile to run a loop while it is sending and puts the number of bytes downloaded so far into whatever variable you specify for "Status"...

You Mean

Code: Select all

Procedure ReceiveFileCB(ID.l, File.s, Position.l)
  PrintN(File+": "+Str(Position))
EndProcedure

ReceiveNetworkFile(ID.l, File.s, @ReceiveFileCB())

That would be nice!

This syntax does not make sence.

The Sytnax of ReceiveNetworkFile is:

Syntax

ReceiveNetworkFile(ConnectionID, FileName$)

Take a look at
viewtopic.php?t=12656&start=15
ind FTP for all OSs topic.

The example FTP conversation uses the PB networking commands to do just that.

See the link to my code near the end of the topic.

Why?

Callbacks are the best solution for displaying the progress of things(eg downloads)!
