Transfering files

[MechatheSlag]

Is there a way to transfer files between two computers without uploading it? Like, directly downloading them?

Yes, you can do it with MooSock. I believe there was an example at the old forum.

yes there is using any Moo extension and the binary object.

Basically convert the file to binary with the binary object. Then send the binary using MOO. Then on the other end reassemble it into the original file.

Maybe something like a mix between a file able to read binary data and one of the network extensions? Someone could also make an extension that would take advantage of another of the extension's networks and then send information sort of like how torrents or p2p networks work by sending files piece by piece with md5 checks on each chunk....
