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.

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

socket = chilkat.CkSocket()

#  Connect to the server using TLS.
bTls = True
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
if (success == False):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  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.

#  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.
success = socket.ReceiveBytesToFile("qa_output/received.dat")
if (success == False):
    print(socket.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Received block appended to the file.")
