Andromeda Remote File System is a complete Client/Server architecture application that includes both the server and client projects. Andromeda uses Winsock to communicate over a TCP/IP connection. The server supports multiple users, and encrypted passwords.
Features:
Download/Upload file(s) and folder(s)
Move file(s) and folder(s)
Rename file(s) and folder(s)
Delete file(s) and folder(s)
Create new folder
Spawn/Terminate executables
and much more...
The client uses a custom class to download and upload multiple files to the server. You may also add more than one Andromeda server to connect to. Supports drag-and-drop between client and server. Server keeps complete logs of login events, file transfers, and will even log server output, if specified in options. This program is similar to CuteFTP, but does not use the File Transfer Protocol. Instead, we implemented our own 'Protocol' for the client and server to communicate. Server can accept multiple connections simultaneously. Demonstrates usage of the Microsoft Winsock ActiveX control, using synchronized data transfer, using arrays of Winsock controls for a multiple connection server, using Collections, opening files for both binary and text reading/writing, etc... YOU MUST SEE THIS! PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS CODE IF YOU LIKE IT!!
*Bugs Fixed! October 24th*

Hey guys, sorry for all the bugs, we obviously rushed the release :/ We checked both projects, and fixed all the bugs, so if you downloaded before October 24, you should re-download the *working* version :) Thanks

The APP.Path Problem can be solved even shorter!
Just write the following:
Dim myPath as String
myPath = App.Path & IIf(Right(App.Path) = "\", "filename.ext","\filename.ext")

Your folder delete would not run on my NT, plus I figure since you use FSO, why not make the delete folder routine FSO...much cleaner and forces folder removal, so I placed this code where you had RmDir(fileName):
dObj.DeleteFolder fileName, True
Also, an overflow error everytime I run, occuring where you call FindChildByClass, so I commented it out, haven't pinpointed why, but hey, it's NT...
Also, file attributes in NT cause an error when you list files (dir command). As soon as it encounters an error, the remaining file list isn't listed, so I added

(continued)Also, file attributes in NT cause an error when you list files (dir command). As soon as it encounters an error, the remaining file list isn't listed, so I added "resume next" to the error routine and now all files are listed. (Bad coding, but I haven't pinpointed the codes, I know one is 75...)
Wonderful coding! Excellent job, keep up the good work. Nice to see your file transfer keeps filesizes the same...I would add dynamic buffer sizes though, and make all data transfer correspond to the buffer/packet size set.

Nice code, but you've got to learn how to trap errors. You need to set it up so that the program doesn't crash when something happens that it didn't expect. Nice job though. Keep up the good work.

There is one major security glitch with this that I have found... Where it allows you to type in a path name on the remote server, say I have C:\Games shared, if I type, C:\games\..\ it will give me root access, the dots mean go back a directory....

Hi,
I dont know if i am being too intrusive here...but I like your work done.
I am thinking about letting users download some files from my website. But I dont know how to...Could you show me a few pointers how ?
If its not too much, could you show me how to display the file Download Dialog when a User clicks on a file he wants to download from a Web-Page. I think its a standard File Download Dialog box that most sites use. After specifying a folder to download to, the progress bar shows and the Download Complete Dialog Box Shows after Downloading is completed. How do you do all that ?
Any advice and tips are greatly appreciated. Thank You

"Run-time error '5'
Invalid procedure call or argument"
and when i debug the code.. here is the code that it's complaining aboute
"firsthtml = Dir" line 1192 col 9 in the ServerMod
-------------------
And when i want to change i password it gives me a
"Run-time error '424':
Object required"
and it complains aboute the code at
line 15 col 1 in frmModifyUser
"If optNormalUser.Value = True Then"
----------------------------
And the client:
Well.. when i wan't to download a file, it download the file like it should, but then it starts to upload filed from my directory...
If you could help me with this it would be great!

Sorry about sd.dll guys, it's not really a DLL file at all, in fact it's just a text file that stores some data and it has been so long I forget what it is. Fortunately I do remember that you can just create an empty text file in Notepad or whatever and name it sd.dll, stick it in the folder with Andromeda and you should be ready to go!

the sd.dll is just a text file containing the "shared directories" list. A fix is to check if thefile exists via
If dir(app.path & "\sd.dll") = "" Then
' create an empty file
Dim hFreeFile as Long
hFreeFile = freefile()
open app.path & "\sd.dll" for Append as hFreeFile
close #hFreeFile
End if

Ugh, i just realized this code has some really annoying problems with variable data types and the lack of option explicit. There are some functions which return a long and the code is trying to accept the returns with an integer type. Easy to fix, but annoying. Makes the whole code rather suspect really.
The problem Francis M. Marasigan described above sounds like the server is not doing any sort of "round robbin" time slicing to give all users equal time on the server. Another solution would be to use multithreading... perhaps integrating the MThreadVB project from pscode.com with this would make a more complete solution.

Quite a few bugs. Client's connect settings should be disabled if no servers setup. Some use of integers instead of longs causing issues such as MDI() function and "c%" in FindChildByClass() (would have worked in win9x though). Need to check if files exists before using them.
The performance is slow 40KB/sec and CPU utilization high (100% both cores on Core2 duo @2.66ghz for first ~20 sec then 40-70%) on client.
Canceling a file transfer does not work correctly... Server either keeps sending or client thinks it is still recieving. You have to close connection and reconnect to transfer again. If you do reconnect and transfer a file it brings up another window from previous terminated transfer.
At the time this code was shared it was likely a great example project. I would rate this mediocre if this was submitted recently and would have likely rated it great back in 2000, so I don't think I can rate this at all.
