Hello!

I'm making an IRC Client with DCC Capabilities.

The DCC Specifications say this about receiving files:

The recipient should acknowledge each packet by transmitting
the total number of bytes received as an unsigned, 4 byte
integer in network byte order.

In do this with the following code:

typedef unsigned int guint32;
guint32 pos = htonl (count & 0xffffffff); 
send(sockfd,(char*) &pos,4,0);

This is the same code that is in the XChat source code.

Now this code works fine with the xchat client itself.

But those 3 lines of code make my own client fail in sending files to another instance of my client.
When I include those 3 lines and I run 2 instances of my program and then try to send a file to each other, the program sends 10 MB of the file and then just stops.

This is my send code:

void listenSocket (void *arg,void *inputUser,void *inputFileName,void *inputFileLoc)
{
	struct sockaddr_storage their_addr;
	struct addrinfo hints, *servinfo;
	struct in_addr addr;
	socklen_t addr_size;

	int len, bytes_sent, bytes_received, fdmax, new_fd, nbytes, j, i,myRandPort=0;
	int sockfdIRCSocket = (int)arg,	sockfd ,bindfd , listenfd;
	unsigned long long int countSentBytes=0;

	char *sendToUser = (char*)inputUser, *fileName = (char*)inputFileName, *fileLoc = (char*)inputFileLoc;
	char strSizeFile[50], buffer[5120], hostip[30], read[500], sendDCC[500], decResult[50], hostname[80], *pch;
	char buf[500], remoteIP[INET6_ADDRSTRLEN], MYPORT[6]="\0",bufferke[4];  

	long sizeFile;

	bool bolSendFile = false;

	fd_set master;    // master file descriptor list
	fd_set read_fds;

	strSizeFile[0] = '\0';

	}

	//File thats needs to be sended

	//Read + Open File
	if((fp = fopen(fileLoc, "rb+"))==NULL) {
		printf(":Cannot open file, please pick another.\n");	 
		Log("DCC File Send","Cannot open file, please pick another.");	 
		return;
	}

	//Get Filesize
	fseek(fp, 0,SEEK_END);

	ltoa(sizeFile,strSizeFile,10);
	fseek(fp, 0,SEEK_SET);

	if (gethostname(hostname, sizeof(hostname)) == SOCKET_ERROR) {
		Log("DCC Send Host","No Host Found");
	}

	struct hostent *phe = gethostbyname(hostname);
	memcpy(&addr, phe->h_addr_list[1], sizeof(struct in_addr));
	sprintf(hostip,"%s",inet_ntoa(addr));

	//Convert IP to Decimal notation
	sprintf(decResult,"%u", addr);
	sprintf(decResult,"%u", htonl(atoi(decResult)));

			}

			//Writing to file

			//Sending ACK's
			typedef unsigned int guint32;
		 
			guint32 pos = htonl (count & 0xffffffff);

		}
	}while(count < filesize);
	if (count = filesize)
	{

		shutdown(sockfd,2);
		closesocket(sockfd);
		fclose(fp);
	}
	else
	{
		printf("\n:>Receiving File Failed\n\n");
	}

Much thanks to anyone who can help me, this is the last thing that needs to work then it's 100% finished!

When your server starts sending a large file (line 195) it stops paying attention to incoming data, until the file is completely transmitted. Its incoming buffer fills up. After that, the client can't send anything and gets stuck at line 90. The server keeps sending. Client's buffer fills up. Now both are stuck.

You need to seriously rethink the server design.

PS: I am not familiar with DDC spec, but TCP and packets do not go together. Seems like you are missing something.

PPS:

}while(count < filesize);

How does filesize gets initialized?

int filesize is my declaration

Of course it is declared. How it is initialized mean how does it receive its initial value. So, where in your code filesize gets initialized?

atoi(output[8])

It's a variable with the length of the file I receive via socket
