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 mode enables fully reliable file transfers. When packets in a file transfer sequence are missing or corrupted, 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. The Fully Reliable service is used automatically unless either the FullyReliableService property is set to False, or FEC is being used when a receive operation is started.

This property is set to True by default. However, the control still receives transfers that are sent without using the Fully Reliable service. But it does not attempt to request missing packets, and the FullyReliableServiceUsed property value does not change state.

This property is always available.
