Unable to set the file name upon sending file via file_in #25

Open readyblue opened 7 years ago

readyblue commented 7 years ago

Hi,

how can file name can be set in order the other side will know what it is I am sending (and how big it is) ? echo "file_name" > file_pending && cat file_name > file_in does not work.

Thanks

Ratox currently works only with streaming files, so there is no possibility to set the file name of the file being sent, or to indicate how big the file is.

I also don't think it will provide much benefit to ratox. But a patch would be highly appreciated, and put into a related repo.

I hope that helps.

I have patch it and now I am testing it. What is the best way to send the patch to this project?

pranomostro commented 7 years ago

I guess I'll create another repo for patches (and put the old OSX patch there as well). Should be up this evening.

I'll also try to mirror that repo on 2f30.org (hope they're responsive).

Okay, I have a rudimentary patch repo up (it's not perfect yet, but I'll be working on it).
