20 May 2002 Status report -------------------------- I am proceeding with File transfer function. My next question follows. Do I have to provide confirmation from Server after each data block has been successfully transferred? Let me clarify. The file transfer is carried out by blocks of say 2048 byte (a sample number). The simplest way out could be to send one final backward confirmation message to notify client of success or failure. But that is not reliable as you see: if an error occurs on server while storing the data to a hard disk, the client will know about it in the end of the FT session. (Or may even not know at all). If you would like to provide reliable transfer, some kind of intermediate confirmation messages should be implemented. But be aware that each such message may take appreciable time as (up to some fractions of a second). which of course will dramatically effect the overall productivity. Thank you.
