Paid on delivery
The purpose of this project is to transfer files between different sites using email. The purpose is the same as using ftp, except using the email network to provide the connection. The project requires a command line program that will send and receive files using email protocol. The program must be able to connect to gmail, qq (chinese email provider), hotmail as a minimum requirement. The program name will be emailtransfer. It will use a config file and parameters to control the program behavior. The config file will contain a list of all allowed email addresses from where files can be accepted. Any emails coming from addresses not in this list will be ignored. program command will be as follows: emailtransfer /parameters parameters: /host smtp server name /port smtp port /user user name to log into email host /pass password to log into email host /to email address to send file to. /cc email list for carbon copies /from our email address /file file to send if /file is not supplied, the program will check for files to download from the email host /size maximum email size. If file exceeds this size, the program must break the file into multiple emails and merge them again when they are received. /dir directory to store the file in the remote computer. If /dir is not supplied or the directory does not exist in the remote computer the file will be stored in location specified by the /dir directory when the program is called. The email sent must have the correct email format in order to be accepted by email servers and email readers. the file must be encoded in such a way that it can be downloaded using an email reader. The subject and email body can be used for signaling between the sender and receiver but must be done in such a way that email filters will not consider the email as spam. Signaling will include information about large files sent in multiple emails. When an email file is successfully downloaded, it must be deleted from the inbox, emails successfully sent must be deleted from the outbox. This must be done in order to ensure mailbox does not fill up. Deleting of sent emails can be done when the program is run again.

I have +10 years of experience in programming. I have finished at least 3 such projects here on freelancer in past 3 months successfully. https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Python-Software-Architecture/scraping-images-from-email-resizing.html https://www.freelancer.com/projects/simple-email-marketing-script.html https://www.freelancer.com/projects/PHP-Software-Architecture/extract-content-from-emails-qmail.html And also some other projects that in some part wanted to send result files as email. I am new to freelancer, but you can see how many such projects are finished in 3 months here with 100% completion rate and 100% positive review. There are some points in your project description. When we want to read emails, we should use pop3 or imap not smtp. Gmail do not let you send exe files. So you need to do some thing with this problem. I always use base64 to encode file and then zip that and send. But in this way, file should be decoded before use if you want users be able to login to email manually and download and use files. But there is no problem when you want use my script to do upload and download in both sides. All other parts are clear. I have also another interesting suggestion for you. I can do most parts of you want in 3 days without awarding. If result was OK, you can award it to me and if not you loose nothing and can choose another one. If you are agree, please inform me to start.

I am very proficient in c, c++. I have 15 years c++ developing experience now, and I have worked for 5 years. My work is online game developing, and mainly focus on server side, the lauguage is c++ under linux os. So, programming in c++ is never a problem. I used c++ to make many great projects, for example, I made the tools which can convert java files to c++ with the same meaning, ofcourse garbage collection included. I made our own mobile game using c++, I even can show you the demo of client. Trust me, please let expert help you.

this is easier to be developed as an extension to your current mail client. If you want to create it as a standalone it will implies more work.

Hello, You are describing a similar protocol I've used way ago on unix systems: uucp! way before internet was commonly used in the US, I am a senior datacomm/telecomm IT guy knowing how to code a command line program, either using .net 2.0 to avoid any unnecessary dll's to install or of required having a plain C file which will run as a single exe just copying the program. I will deliver source code and product working as per your requirements, adding the log activity to track eventual problems and saving the configuration in xml for easy reading. regards alex
