Encrypted File Transfer via Sockets in Python

[@dankeroner]

"pip install pycrypto" failed "pip install pycryptodome " worked perfectly close the file after reading it to prevent encoding and decoding errors with open('"file", "rb") as f: data = f.read() f.close() .... .... .... Thanks for the content bruv

[@Dyanosis]

But you're using "with", which handles closing the file for you. Also f doesn't exist in the outer scope, only the scope of the with... so f.close() in your example does nothing. That'd be like saying that, in Java, you still need to close a file/resource that was opened with "try(some_resource)".

No matter what I do, I cannot send any kind of messages or files remotely from windows to my mac machine. I have tried opening the ports on the firewall, disabling the firewall, while keeping the IP address as my public IP, I even tried changing the port to 8080 (i thought this would make the transfer possible via http but didnt work).. am I missing something, please help me out. Thanks in advance

Are the files you are sending compatible with mac? Windows programs are not compatible with mac. It wont understand the data it's decrypting. Or are you talking about just establishing the connection itself? You'll have to forward the port on your router if you're trying to connect outside of your local network.

same issue

[@lengors7327]

Are you running the server on the windows or on the mac machine? Also, which firewall were you messing with?

I figured it out guys, my ISP is blocking requests to my forwarded ports (I did port forwarding on my router), but I realised it later that it was my ISP. And now I'm back to developing Android apps 🤡

Love the video, I'd love to see this with an encryption implementation similar to SSL!

Great tutorial - really enjoying your sessions. Thanks :)

Your content is always good

[@safakkoklu6414]

That is not a good approach for sending big files. Storing the recieved data in variable consumes your ram equals to the file size. You may want to write recieved data chunk on disk as soon as you get and empty the variable.

More Encrypted like content, its very cool.

It will be best of both world if a Flet app is made ,which provides this feature !

[@atsbmnt7279]

very nice @NeuralNine Thank you

[@pythonmini7054]

It only works on txt file not on docx files

[@marcboutilier7044]

Did you make sure that client.send() has the proper end or not? Like: client.send("Example.docx") Just curious

awesome!!!!

Neat

[@JNET_Reloaded]

wheres the link to the code whats the point in having github if your not going to make a repo for every project on yt makes no fkin sense!

[@Dyanosis]

Someone needs a chill pill and to learn how to talk to other people even though the internet gives you "anonymity". Besides, there's this lovely feature called "pause" for videos. Maybe you've heard of it? You can pause the video and copy what he's written. It's better, for your learning, if you're forced to write/type out what he did so you better understand what you're using rather than just copy/pasting and not understanding a thing.
