How to return from a function back to the main application loop

I tried to compile the code on both client and server but got on error on each one. nim-1.6.10libpureconcurrencythreadpool.nim(22, 10) Error: Threadpool requires --threads:on option. I thought this might be a missing module but not finding any module problem. I will continue to check this.

How to return from a function back to the main application loop

Looks great! My only concern is firewall issues. The big advantage of reverse is it has no firewall problems. When helping a user it might be difficult to walk them through the process of setting this to go through their firewall. Have you been able to get this to work with the reverse format?

Looks good. Just need to understand how to implement spawn into the original code. Will this help to return control from download to main? Thanks for the input

When asked about the tool category, I’d put it into a type of support tool. Of course this type of tool never starts robust, and that’s fine. Robustness comes with time, not at the beginning. Thank you for your efforts.

How to return from a function back to the main application loop

Good morning (I'm in mountain time -Utah). As a follow-up on the purpose of this tool - You are correct, "remote support" is what I had in mind. Nothing nefarious. The reason for reverse client /server is that you don't need to worry about the firewall. The admin would just need to setup port f

Just a quick follow up with some testing I've done. If I insert the "stdout.write("Enter a command") along with "let input: string = strdin.readLine() and the input criteria, I can get a prompt again. However, it seems to work fine for other commands but the download command still has the same

Anything would help. If you have some time next week to play with this, that would be highly appreciated. There is not timeline, just a hunger for knowledge and how this all works. It's the knowledge not the time. Thanks. All appreicated.

How to return from a function back to the main application loop

Made the requested changes but not seeing a return back to the main loop. Also put an echo after calling the serve() function, - echo "Returning to the main loop.". Not seeing that echo either. The loop comes to an end but still not able to get back to the main program loop. Updated Client-

Thanks so much. I will try exactly that and see if it resolves the problem. The code works well except not getting back to the main loop to continue making requests. (:

How to return from a function back to the main application loop

Thanks. I was thinking about removing the function and putting it in the loops to have better control of it. I think I will however on the server have a callable function so it can be used by multiple blocks of code.

Thank you for helping. I really appreciate it.

Essentially I’m just trying to get some simple examples of a file transfer in nim. Reading the file and send. Then receiving the file and write to disk.

Using Socket for File Transfer

Good day all. I am more on the experienced side of Python and have written some successful file transfer applications (in python). However, I am struggling to find sufficient information or examples on how to do the same in nim. I have taken my code that I had done in Python and have attempted t

Screenshot works fine in own code but not over sockets.

I see. Great!! It's working. I was sure Yesterday my code was going to work because it looks right. I really appreciate the insight and knowledge you have. I changed all the "[0..]" slices to "startsWith". Works perfectly now. I will keep listening to you. Thanks again!

Screenshot works fine in own code but not over sockets.

Here is a copy of the current client / server. The stand alone version works great. Appears to only have a problem when implemented into the server side when trying to use "elif" or "startswith" to initiate its execution. I put the screenshot code block in the server twice seeing that startswith

Screenshot works fine in own code but not over sockets.

I have tested this by itself and it works great. When I implement it in client / server, i can get it to respond. Code - elif input.startsWith("scr"): var powershell: string = "powershell.exe" var command = "Add-Type -Asse

Thanks I appreciate it. I plan on adding file transfer in the code. Moving files is essential.

I've kept the reverse client / server format rather than the typical format. I've been able to improve it somewhat thanks to examples by members of the forum. Highly appreciated. Client Update - import net import strutils var server: Socket = newSocket() se

Only one line will load. Need all lines in directory to load.

Wow. Okay, I should have noticed the try outside the loop. Now works great. Thanks for your help. How did you learn sockets well? Any recommended books or websites? I do well with python but just started with nim. Wish to learn well.

This code works very well the first time but it disconnects only after one time. Tried to fix it but not finding the reason for the disconnect. But works great the first time.

The reverse of client and server was intentional. It was just an easier way for me to connect to my other machine. Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it.

Wow! Checking this out. Thanks for the update. I really appreciate it.

That resolved the problem. Now I can get all the lines of data for each request! Here is the changes I made to both the client and the server. SERVER if input[0..3] == "path": var resp = newSeq[string]() let my_path = input[5..^1]

Only one line will load. Need all lines in directory to load.

My main concern was size. Raw sockets are small so that is my motivation. Not very familiar with Jester. How does it compare compiled size wise when doing the same in raw sockets? Thanks for the suggestions and information.

Only one line will load. Need all lines in directory to load.

Thanks, I agree that writing it down helps to better implement the steps in code. 1. When doing the for loop insert a variable to get number of folder items. 2\. Two variables num_of_dir@dir_list Create a separator character. 3. When on client side use num, dirs = split(“@“) 4\. With a

Only one line will load. Need all lines in directory to load.

I think a for loop when requesting from server can be sent back to the client for the number of need loops and then run a for loop on the with the incoming data for that number of times. Example code: import os echo "Please enter a directory path > " let input_dir_path

Thanks, I will give it a try. Hopefully I can come up with something effective. Appreciate your help.

I have fix the problem of just getting one line but its cause a different problem. I used a while loop to get all the lines, however, now I am knocked out of the original loop and loose the ability to continue making other requests. UPDATED CODE that gets multiple lines but looses ability to ma

Trying to get a list of file / folders to load from client to server, however, if the requests are longer than one line, it only shows the first line. Tried a for loop but not working correctly. Only the path request is having a problem. All others requests work because they are one line respons

I asked chat-gpt to write a fft function in Nim

Chat gpt is not the best at nim (not yet anyway). But quite good at Python. It has a lot more data about python, hence the reason for better performing code.
