Shannon,

"custom code", "because my manager said so" and all that jazz aside, you
realize you're attempting to re-write some very basic file handing code
in a language that wasn't designed to do system-level stuff, right?

Given that you can use FTP, NFS, HTTP, SMB, and probably 7 or 8 other
existing, coded, tested, trusted protocols for transferring a file
between two machines, why the heck would you even consider writing your
own?

Seriously!? Not trying to be a pain.
