Question

I have socket program which sends a file from socket client to socket server and create the file on the server

There is no problem in sending the file to the server… [Not corrupted]

But,

Im my code : (Server listening and receive data )

this.buffer = new byte[1000000];
 this.DataSocket.Receive(this.buffer, this.buffer.Length, SocketFlags.None);

So always 1000000 bytes are received from the client to server which always the file created in the server has a fix size value .. also larger than the original file.

most fuzzy thing is file MD5 hashes are different… because of this fixed buffer as i think

my problem is how i cant send the file to the server with the same MD5 Hash ?

Answer 1

I think this may be because the MD5 is begin created with the entire buffer you have created. If the data is only 50000 bytes long but the buffer is 1000000 I assume these would create different hash values.

If I remember correctly the receive method returns an int which should be the size of the data that you have received. You could create a new byte array and copy the received data into an array which is the exact same size as the original file.

Hope this helps.
