    <p>i need to transfer a file of 8.3MB over TCP, when i use file pointers to read and write to files then i send about 8.6MB data and also receives 8.6 MB of data by calculating the output of send and recv calls although my file size is 8.3 MB, further the when i check the size of file separately by seeing its properties then it is around 3-5 MB (varies on every transfer) but when i use file descriptors in place of file pointers then i send and recv exactly 8.3 MB of data and file property size also shows 8.3 MB. So what is the problem in using file pointers and why is it removed in case of file descriptors.... but if i use file descriptors then i am not able to read the text file that i sent. Text editors shows some binary data in the file. i am not getting a bit of what is happening... please help and thanks in advance</p> <h1> server.cpp </h1> <pre><code>#include "server.h" void server() { int fd = open("out.txt",O_WRONLY); struct sockaddr_in sin; socklen_t addr_size; char buf[MAX_LINE]; int len; int s, new_s; /* build address data structure */ bzero((char *) &amp; sin, sizeof (sin)); sin.sin_family = AF_INET; sin.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; sin.sin_port = htons(SERVER_PORT); printf("File Descriptor : %d", fd); /* setup passive open */ if ((s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) &lt; 0) { perror("simplex-talk: socket"); exit(1); } if ((bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &amp; sin, sizeof (sin))) &lt; 0) { perror("simplex-talk: bind"); exit(1); } listen(s, MAX_PENDING); // wait for connection, then receive and print text */ while (1) { if ((new_s = accept(s, (struct sockaddr *) &amp; sin, &amp;addr_size)) &lt; 0) { perror("simplex-talk: accept"); exit(1); } float total = 0; printf("File Descriptor : %d", fd); while (len = recv(new_s, buf, MAX_LINE, 0) &amp;&amp; strcmp(buf,"close")) { buf[len] = 0; total = total+len; //write(stdout, buf, len); write(fd, buf, len); //printf("%fKB and %fMB\n",total/1024, total/(1024*1024)); } printf("File Descriptor : %d", fd); close(new_s); } } </code></pre> <h1>client.cpp</h1> <pre><code>#include "client.h" void client(int argc, char** argv) { int fd = open("/home/nikku/Desktop/data.txt",O_RDONLY); if (fd &lt; 0 ) perror("File not opened\n"); struct hostent *hp; struct sockaddr_in sin; char *host; char buf[MAX_LINE]; int s; int len; host = argv[1]; if (argc == 2) { host = argv[1]; } else { fprintf(stderr, "usage: simplex-talk host\n"); exit(1); } /* translate host name into peer’s IP address */ gethostname(host,20); printf("%s\n",host); hp = gethostbyname(host); if (!hp) { fprintf(stderr, "simplex-talk: unknown host: %s\n", host); exit(1); } /* build address data structure */ bzero((char *) &amp; sin, sizeof (sin)); sin.sin_family = AF_INET; bcopy(hp-&gt;h_addr, (char *) &amp; sin.sin_addr, hp-&gt;h_length); sin.sin_port = htons(SERVER_PORT); /* active open */ if ((s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) &lt; 0) { perror("simplex-talk: socket"); exit(1); } if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr *) &amp; sin, sizeof (sin)) &lt; 0) { perror("simplex-talk: connect"); close(s); exit(1); } printf("Connection Succeeded\n"); /* main loop: get and send lines of text */ float total = 0; while (read(fd, buf, MAX_LINE)) { //usleep(1000);; len = strlen(buf) + 1; total += send(s, buf, len, 0); //printf("%fKB and %fMB\n",total/1024, total/(1024*1024)); } send(s, "close", 6, 0); close(fd); } </code></pre> <p>Just if i replace use of file descriptors with pointers and use fgets and fputs to read and write then my file transfer does not take properly.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
