File upload/download

Post by 0D0A » 2003-01-15 21:32

How do file upoads and downloads work? I think I read somewhere that they are standard FTP transfers. Is this true? If not are they based on any other standard protocol? Is there any documentation anywhere (except the DC++ sources)?

Thanx,

No part of DC protocol is based on any other standard protocol (well, except TCP/UDP). The Client-client protocol was posted on these forums, search around a little.

It's not really an FTP file transfer, but it is rather simple.

You can find some documentation here http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=36589 and there are other protocol descriptions available. (Unfortunately there were a lot of links in the old forum.)

Basically there is some file stuff first and then the file is transferred as simple byte blocks.
