[archive] How to copy files from AcuLaunch-Server to Thin-Client Machine

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 21 May 2003]

Does someone know how to copy files from an application runnning with AcuLaunch on the server to to Client-PC, running AcuThin. I need this feature, because we have to create floppydisks with data for banking on the Client-PC.

Currently you will either have to make a share on the client and map it on the server or use an activex component to accomplish this. This kind of feature is however schedule to show in an upcoming version.

I wrote an ActiveX control to do this. It's kind of clunky, but it works. I wrote a control that lets me read or write files on the client. Transferring binary data is tough - I am converting it to hex strings before writing it to the control and then un-hexing it on the client in the control. That doubles the transfer time.

It would be nice if this was in the thin client - one less control I have to install on the client side.

Hi JoeD,

Can you post the sourcecode of your solution in this forum ?
