Hi Is it possible to send ASCII using TIdTCPClient/Server (Version8) at the same time as a file is being transferred? I seem to vaguely remember someone once saying it could be done. Any ideas? Thanks Jamie Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 3:16 am    Post subject: Re: File AND ASCII at the same time using TCP?

The only way to do that is to split your file data into multiple packets, and then send the text packets in between file packets. Each packet would need a header to specify what kind of packet it is, and how the packets relate to each other. That is a very messy protocol, to say the least. Most other protocols get around this by simply performing the transfer on a completely separate connection.
