And since the connection can be assumed to be lossless, the protocol could be really simple, e.g. something like this: G=Guest, H=Host Example of a write operation.. G: WRITE-FILE H: ACK // Now we send the file structure / word size etc G: FILE-META-DATA G: <file size and a bunch of OS specific stuff that is written to a second file> H: ACK G: FILE-DATA G: <the actual data> G: ACK Done.
