Hi I have used syswrite to a socket to send a file to the client size. The file size is around 10.5k. On the client size, I use sysread to read from socket to receive the file. But it always receive the files in 2 chunks. The first chunk is always 4344 of size, and the 2nd chunk is the rest of the size. I want to receive the file as 1 whole thing and not divided into 2 chunks. Please advise.

Thanks!

Client:

while($len = sysread($sock, $buffer, 500000000))
{

createFile("<filename>", $buffer, $len, 0);
        
#processFile;
}        


Server:

open READFILE, "<", "<filename>" or die $!;
                        binmode(READFILE);

while($len = sysread(READFILE, $buffer, 500000000)){
                           
syswrite($new_sock, $buffer, $len);
                            
}
                        close(READFILE) or die $!;
