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.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

'  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Integer = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  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) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(socket.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

Debug.WriteLine("Received block appended to the file.")
