Detailed Description

File transfer and drag-and-drop messages (v1.5+)

Variable Documentation

kMsgDDragInfo

const char* const kMsgDDragInfo

extern

Drag and drop information.

Message Code: "DDRG" Direction: Primary ↔ Secondary Format: "DDRG%2i%s" Parameters:

• $1: Number of files (2 bytes)
• $2: File paths (string) - Null-separated file paths

Example:

Dragging 2 files

* "DDRG\x00\x02/path/to/file1.txt\x00/path/to/file2.txt\x00"

Sent when a drag-and-drop operation begins. Contains the list of files being dragged. The actual file transfer follows using kMsgDFileTransfer messages.

File Path Format:

• Paths are null-terminated strings
• Multiple paths are concatenated with null separators
• Paths should use forward slashes for compatibility

kMsgDFileTransfer

const char* const kMsgDFileTransfer

extern

File transfer data.

Message Code: "DFTR" Direction: Primary ↔ Secondary Format: "DFTR%1i%s" Parameters:

• $1: Transfer mark (1 byte) - Transfer state
• $2: Data (string) - Content depends on mark

Transfer Marks:

• 1 (kDataStart): Data contains file size (8 bytes)
• 2 (kDataChunk): Data contains file content chunk
• 3 (kDataEnd): Transfer complete (data may be empty)

Example Transfer Sequence:

Send 4096 bytes

"DFTR\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x10\x00"
"DFTR\x02[1024 bytes of file data]"
"DFTR\x02[1024 bytes of file data]"
"DFTR\x02[1024 bytes of file data]"
"DFTR\x02[1024 bytes of file data]"
"DFTR\x03"

Protocol Flow:

1. Sender initiates with kDataStart containing total file size
2. Sender sends multiple kDataChunk messages with file content
3. Sender concludes with kDataEnd to signal completion
4. Receiver can abort by closing connection
