FullyReliableService Property

Returns or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the user wants to receive a transfer that uses the Fully Reliable service.

Syntax

NSFile.FullyReliableService

Remarks

The Fully Reliable service enables fully reliable file transfers. When packets in a file transfer sequence are missing or bad, the receiver sends requests to the sender to resend the missing or bad packets.

In order to use the Fully Reliable service, forward error-correction (FEC) must be used. Make sure that the Flags parameter of the FtsStartFileTransferReceive method includes the FEC value of 1. Except for making sure that FEC is used when a receive operation is started, the Fully Reliable service is used automatically unless the FullyReliableService property is set to False.

This property is set to True by default. However, if a transfer is received that was sent without using the Fully Reliable service, the control will still receive the transfer but will not attempt to request missing packets and the FullyReliableServiceUsed property value will not change state.

This property is always available.
