Hi,
I apologize if this is an FAQ but I could not find references to it anywhere.
I am trying to send the entire "environment" from one R session to
another (on a remote machine) using socketConnections. However, I
cannot get around this error:
On "host" machine:
> con1=socketConnection(port=6011,server=T,open="w+b",blocking=T)
> save(list=ls(),file=con1)
On "client" machine:
> con2=socketConnection("localhost",port=6011,open="r+b",blocking=T)
> load(con2)
Error in gzcon(con, level, allowNonCompressed) :
can only use read- or write- binary connections
I seem to get this error even if I use the "compress=F" option in
save(). Also, it doesnt matter if I use "r+b" or "rb" (and "w+b" vs.
"wb"), or whether I use blocking or not.
I am able to see that the data is getting sent, as when I use readBin(con2...).
Does anyone know how to do this?
thanks very much.
-David
