Re: [twsocket] File transfer through SSL
Hi Francois, Do we have any kind of demo project of how to upload stuff to the server by using ssl and how to download from the server? This is something that I also very much would like to know about. I have faced many times the following problem, No one likes to open too many ports, if we could do anything over SSL port, that would be great.

You can have a server program listening on port 80 and on the same computer a client program connecting to a server (local or remote) on the port 80. And instead of using HTTPS (SSL) use HTTP but with a custom encryption if needed. That's an idea, OK? You can use HTTP protocol to transport any file, including encrypted files. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

You have two demos: client (OverbyteIcsHttpsTst.dproj) and server (OverbyteIcsHttpsServer).

Re: [twsocket] File transfer through SSL
Ok. Thank you for your answer. And how could I send a file on HTTPS protocol? I would like to connect two clients behind firewalls through a server on WAN and initiate the file transfer between them... Do you think that's possible? -- From: Francois PIETTE francois.pie...@skynet.be Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 7:28 AM To: ICS support mailing twsocket@elists.org Subject: Re: [twsocket] File transfer through SSL I would like to transfer a file through a SSL tunnel using 443 port.

HTTPS OK, FTPS OK, SFTP not OK (because it is SSH and not SSL). Is there a way to only use the 443 port on client side and don't open other port? Use HTTPS.

Re: [twsocket] File transfer through SSL
And how could I send a file on HTTPS protocol? There is no difference in HTTP (or HTTPS) between files and documents. I would like to connect two clients behind firewalls through a server on WAN and initiate the file transfer between them... Do you think that's possible? Do you mean you have 3 computers involved: one server and two clients and want to transfer a file between the two clients ? You cannot communicate between clients. You must pass thru the server, first upload the file from one client to the server and then download the file from the server to the second client.

[twsocket] File transfer through SSL
Hello world, I would like to transfer a file through a SSL tunnel using 443 port. I've seen the SSL implementation in my loved ICS Components and I was wondering how used them to do this... Could you help me? SFTP or HTTPS or...? Is there a way to only use the 443 port on client side and don't open other port? Thanks for help.
