Thanks to Andu and Scott Raney for the ftp MetaCard stack! Using the ftp
stack as an example, I've built a stack that can upload and download files
to a password-protected server via ftp, and all the user has to do is click
one button. Love it, LOVE IT!
And now of course I have another question! When uploading a file, I did not
want to read it all into memory first... rather, I wanted to read a bit,
send a bit, read a bit, send a bit, etc. This would cut down dramatically
on RAM usage for folks sending huge files. To make a real long story short,
I got it working. But in order for it to work, I had to get the file size
of the file I was sending. My current way of doing this is inelegant...
put 0 into tBytes
repeat while the result is not "eof"
read from file sourceName for 20000 characters
put the number of characters in it + tBytes into tBytes
end repeat
close file sourceName
Can anyone suggest the best way to do this in the Mac and also Windows? If
so, thanks in advance!
