Receive a Block of Bytes to a File

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveBytesToFile, which receives one available block of bytes and appends it to a file.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test

    //  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

    //  Receive one available block of bytes and append it to a file.  If bytes are already buffered,
    //  they are used first; otherwise a single receive operation is performed.
