Python Client/Server send big size files

Python Client/Server send big size files

I am not sure if this topic have been answered or not, if was I am sorry:
I have a simple python script the sends all files in one folder:
Client:
import os,sys, socket, time
def Send(sok,data,end="292929"):
sok.sendall(data + end);
def SendFolder(sok,folder):
if(os.path.isdir(folder)):
files = os.listdir(folder);
os.chdir(folder);
for file_ in files:
Send(sok,file_);#Send the file name to the server
f = open(file_, "rb");
while(True):
d = f.read();#read file
if(d == ""):
break;
Send(sok, d, "");#Send file data
f.close();
time.sleep(0.8);#Problem here!!!!!!!!!!!
Send(sok,"");#Send termination to the server
time.sleep(1);#Wait the server to write the file
os.chdir("..");
Send(sok,"endfile");#let the server know that we finish sending files
else:
Send("endfile")#If not folder send termination
try:
sok1 = socket.socket();
sok1.connect(("192.168.1.121",4444))#local ip
time.sleep(1);
while(True):
Send(sok1,"Enter folder name to download: ");
r = sok1.recv(1024);
SendFolder(sok1,r);
time.sleep(0.5);
except BaseException, e:
print "Error: " + str(e);
os._exit(1);
Server:
import sys,os,socket,time
# receive data
def Receive(sock, end="292929"):
data = "";
while(True):
if(data.endswith(end)):
break;
else:
data = sock.recv(1024);
return data[:-len(end)];#return data less termination
def FolderReceive(sok):
while(True):
r = Receive(sok);# recv filename or folder termination("endfile")
if(r == "endfolder"):
print "Folder receive complete.";
break;
else:
filename = r;#file name
filedata = Receive(sok);# receive file data
f = open(filename,"wb");
f.write(filedata);
f.close();#finish to write the file
print "Received: " + filename;
try:
sok1 = socket.socket();
sok1.bind(("0.0.0.0",4444));
sok1.listen(5);
cl , addr = sok1.accept();#accepts connection
while(True):
r = Receive(cl);
sys.stdout.write("\n" + r);
next = raw_input();
cl.sendall(next);#send folder name to the client
FolderReceive(cl);
except BaseException, e:
print "Error: " + str(e);
os._exit(1);
I know this not best server ever...but is what I know. This just work for
a folder with small files because if I send big files(like 5mb...) it
crashes because the time the client waits for the server is not enough.
So my question is how can I send the files to the server without client
need to wait??or know exactly how many time the client needs to wait for
the server to receive the file?? Some code that does the same but handling
any file size, any help?
