You could if you asked in Linux or Tech...

Sure the file exists? -r is recursive, do a man cp

i would like to copy any file with any size...

Post some actual code, like how you read the filename(s), open the files etc etc.

It's size doesn't make any difference...

i doing like this in gtk c.

Code:

---

char *s1;
s1=g_strconcat("cp -i ",split1_filename11[1]," ", file,NULL);
  FILE* F;
  F=popen(s1,"r");
  pclose (F);

---

"gchar **split1_filename11[1]" (file name)is a global declaration , it is getting from server.
"file" is where to save.

i used rcp also

Code:

---

char *s1;
s1=g_strconcat("rcp -p ",split1_filename11[1]," ", file,NULL);

---

all it saying
cp: cannot stat `xxxxx-1.1.1.tar.gz': No such file or directory
at file receiving side(at other machine)

can you help me
thank you in advance

for a different machine try using scp.

how do you assign gchar **split1_filename11[1]?

g_strconcat returns gchar *.

The file size has nothing to do with being able to find it (or not).
Since you seem to be using a remote machine, check what it considers to be the current directory.

the file size is ok..
gchar **split1_filename11;
let me clear my doubt.

first am clicking send button, it will open file chooser..
file choosing starts from working directory.
i think here causing the problem.
if i send a file from working directory , sucessfully sent to other machine. by using "cp -i" or "rcp -p".
if i send a file from otherthan working directory..
it showing the message and not sending my file to other machine.

cp: cannot stat `filename': No such file or directory

how can i do this..
please help me

thank you in advance

Well I guess your file chooser has some way of telling you which directory it was in when you picked the file.

This isn't a C problem, it's simply a matter of RTFM to find out how the API you're using really works.

yes am choosing the file when send button clicked in my machine ...to send.
and choosing the file save button clicked in other machine..to save.
i am running this exe. from source code path is
/root/Desktop/123/src/run(run is my exe name)
/root/Desktop/123/src/one.png this is the sending file..(one.png is the sending file)
and at the receiving side /root/Desktop/6666... this is the saving path(6666 is the folder wr to save)
like this it is sucessfully sending and receiving.

and
root/Desktop/two.png this is the sending file..(two.png is the sending file)
and at the receiving side /root/Desktop/6666... this is the saving path(6666 is the folder wr to save)
it is sending file but not receiving at the other machine...
saying the same error.

i think this is the only problem with file chooser..

can you suggest me

thank you in advance

>root/Desktop/two.png this is the sending file..(two.png is the sending file)
Have you tried /root/Desktop/two.png ?

I really can't see what the problem is.

It's just your basic "get the filename right" task, there is no magic here beyond being able to process filenames properly.

I mean, if you got as far as displaying dialogs and such, a bit of string handling ought to be a breeze. Even if you screw it up, printing some debug information like the current directory and the relative filename should give anyone with basic skills enough information to figure it out for themselves.
