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
success = False

Dim socket As New Chilkat.Socket

//  Connect to the server using TLS.
Dim bTls As Boolean
bTls = True
Dim maxWaitMs As Int32
maxWaitMs = 5000
success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
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
    System.DebugLog(socket.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Received block appended to the file.")
