Python Networking Tutorial #8 – Large File Transfer with Real-Time Progress over TCP
In this video, we take Python networking to the next level by transferring a 40MB file over TCP, chunk by chunk.
You’ll see how to:
🔸 Send large files with sockets
🔸 Monitor real-time progress on the server
🔸 Use a delay to simulate controlled transfer
🔸 Build send_large.txt and generate received.txt on the other side
We use socket, time.sleep(), and binary file handling in both the client and server code.
This is a practical example of how large file transfer works in network programming with Python.
📁 Don’t forget to run server.py first, then client.py to see the transfer in action!
