Why, I have no idea, but the server is getting stuck on bytes_read = connection.recv(BUFFER) after the file transfer.
So you know BUFFER is 4096.
client.py
with open(filename, "rb") as file:
while True:
bytes_read = file.read(BUFFER)
if bytes_read == b'':
client.send(b'<EOF>')
break
client.sendall(bytes_read)
progress.update(len(bytes_read))
progress.close()
client.recv(BUFFER).decode()
server.py
with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
while True:
bytes_read = connection.recv(BUFFER)
if bytes_read == b'<EOF>':
break
file.write(bytes_read)
progress.update(len(bytes_read))
progress.close()
connection.send('release'.encode())
When I walk through the code everything works fine, but when I run the code the server gets stuck on bytes_read = connection.recv(BUFFER) and never sees the bytes_read == b'<EOF>'.
Could it be that the packet being sent is to small?
I've found that checking the file size in a while loop will work.
client.py
with open(filename, "rb") as file:
while True:
_bytes = file.read(BUFFER)
if _bytes == b'':
progress.update(len(_bytes))
break
client.sendall(_bytes)
progress.update(len(_bytes))
client.recv(BUFFER).decode()
server.py
file_data = b''
with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
while len(file_data) < filesize:
_bytes = connection.recv(BUFFER)
file_data += _bytes
file.write(file_data)
progress.update(len(_bytes))
