Hello, I'm new to ObjC/Cocoa, I'm trying to write an App that is somehow similar rsync, but for a specific purpose. More or less it does the following:
* The App is Leopard only. I don't care about Tiger. * A GUI Cocoa App which scans a certain directory for files and displays them in a table view. The list of files is represented by an array of a custom data structure needed by my application (This part is already done) The part that I want to start developing now is: * A Client/Server component in the App, that will allow to instances to transfer files to do a two way Sync of missing files on either end * Add Bonjour capability as this App will only be used in local networks, so I would like them to auto discover each other * Add "Pairing" feature that allows one instance to only sync with the paired instance (pretty much like AppleTV) * Transfer the files back and forth in a multi threaded way, so that I can maximize the throughput of the network - I need help to get me started, as I couldn't find any tutorials on creating a TCP server/client to transfer XML & binary files. - I also need some help on how to create the threads in the server/client. - How can I do the pairing option in a reliable manner? Any help is highly appreciated.
