Network file transfer

[metalstorm]

I've spent the last few days looking at java networking libraries/ frameworks
for a project i'm starting. I'm porting an already existing application I
made in c# over to java.

This core of this application is networked(LAN) file transfers, how do I go
about this using netty?

My aim is to be able to send files (can be quite big) over TCP from a server
to a client (P2P) over LAN (for now)

I've looked at the HttpStaticFileServer example and I do not know how to get
the server to respond to any requests, 'messageReceived' is never fired even
though i have connected with a (very basic) client.

I've searched Google and this (I must say terrible) forum and I can't find
any simple examples using netty where it will send a file from a given path
to a client.

My C# prototype just uses TCP sockets, I don't need any of the HTTP stuff on
top.

What about multiple connections between server and client (multiple file
transfers) also how do the server organise multiple clients/connections. Is
all the threading done for me ? threads per connection per file ?

Basically to sum up; I need a client + server example of TCP/LAN file
transfer using netty, that could be used for mutiple connections / transfer.

Thank you :)
