I have no idea what you're talking about Davince.
Yeah Brandon, like the AIM File transfer.
It should be possible, since files is just strings of code. One object reads the file and copying the code, while the MooObject sends the data and the reciever gets it and saves a file of it...? I just can't get the theory to work.
You'd have to use the binary object on the server and client. Switch the file to binary with the Binary object, send the LONG string to the client, then the client reassembles the binary code to a file. The client would need to know when to reconstruct the file so directly after send a string to inform the client it's time to reconstruct the binary.
At least, I'd assume so.
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.
Use the binary object.
I think someone made a tutorial over at CT Forums on how to download files from a HTTP server using the binary object - it basically got all the code from a download and compiled it. You'd be able to send the code over via Moo and then compile it on the client I think. I'll try make an example later.
Or you can use FTP object and Supa Supa Download. You can upload file using FTP object, then download it using SSD. Although then you can be wasting webspace (unless you use FTP object to delete the file afterwards) and also you actually need an FTP server which will probably cost money. Your choice.
I recently found out about a really nice extention how ever, Webget. Supa Supa worked, but it just felt unstable in my oppinion. Webget just feels alot more stable and easier to use. I personally, would recommend it over SupaSupa Download.

He means peer to peer though, so you can't use the SuperSuperDownload extension or webgrab. I think he would have to use moosock and send the binary over, or use the binary line sending in moogame?
Yes its very possible, what liquixcat said is pretty much the way to do it.
I remember asking on the CT forums about this ages ago, as i was making a Chat application and wanted a feature like this. i never did get it to work as i dont know anything at all about MOOsock or Binary for that matter, but if you know what your doing its possible.
Search the CT forums for more help on how to do it, they are always the best for these things or even better re-ask about this there and if your lucky, someone might whip up an example for you.
