i am looking for a file-transfer program (for linux), which can run one upload and one download simultaneously, on a _single_ TCP connection (sort of the TCP equivalent of the BModem protocol used on BBS-es years ago).
i assume this will need to be a client+server application (since standard file transfer protocols such as ftp are not 'full-duplex' in this sense). - it needs to run on the command-line (i.e. NOT an X/svgalib based application). - it needs to show the temporary transfer rate as transfer progresses, seperately for each direction (upload/download). is there such a thing in existence? searching for 'file transfer' + 'bidirectional' on freshmeat/google gives nothing. using 'full duplex' gives a lot of info about full-duplex ethernet NICS and switches. by the way, you might ask "what's wrong with using two seperate TCP connections - one for upload and one for download?". think of a slow link, where a mass download in one direction slows down the ACKs for the upload, and vice versa, giving an overall poor performance. (and i don't want/can't get into playing with linux's priority queues for this). thanks, -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
