VBcoders'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Note: This is a custom control for your applications. This will not properly
'Get files from the internet or from an ftp. Although the dataarival sub would
'be the same, I do not know how the transition would end so I just sent "xx"
'and that tells the sub that the transition has ended
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Public declarations
dim FileOpen as Boolean
public function Send_File(FileToSend as string)
'This is the function that sends a file
Dim Temp as string
Dim BlockSize as long
open filetosend for binary access read as #1 'Open the file to send
BlockSize = 2048 'Set the block size, if needed, set it higher
do while not EOF(1)
temp = Space$(blockSize) 'Give temp some space to store the data
Get 1, , temp 'Get first line from file
Winsock1.SendData temp 'Send the data
DoEvents
loop
winsock1.senddata "xx" 'This is a custom control that ends the transmition
close #1
end function
Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)

Open "c:\somefile_here" For Binary Access Write As #2
