I would like to send files of a few tens of megabyte, via Mqtt, from a pc workstation with the B4J program to an Android device with B4A app
How do i send large files?
There is an upper limit for single submission?
Mosquitto is the broker

There is an upper limit for single submission?

8kb is default.

Not sure about his one though; Also note that the payload is send in one package. Means on the sending AND receiving side you must have enough RAM to send/get the package.

You can set the size with.

For user experience you should split the file on serverside and send only small packages. I don´t think it is suitable to send tens of MBs in one payload.

One Solution (you don´t need to change the default payloadsize at all with it).
Split the original file in small parts of 8, 16, 32 kb...
Create a customtype with file to send, amount of parts, one part of the file as bytearray.
Serialize the customtype. Send the serialized payload. Send all 1587 (just an example) parts of that file....
On receiverside you get the serialized payload, get the nr and amount of parts you need.
Store them until you know you have all parts. Rebuild the originalfile based on the parts you received.

It's not exactly a health walk ?

Hi there...

you ve already have my Remote Administration via MQTT you can check the part of file-transfer... with mqtt free broker hivemq the limit is 200KB/msg... but for compatiblity reasons with other brokers i ve setted it at 32Kb... it is easy to change this buffer... Actually tested with 1,5GB transfer (with a buffer of 200KB)... and it was pretty good...

split your file at many pieces and send it

Of course, I did not remember the file transfer function of your project
Thank you very much
