Hi:

I am having some trouble implementing file transfers i am using both
exodus and PSI to test with. I am attempting to do a direct connection
currently and as far as I know I am implementing the byte stream
correctly because both PSI and Exodus are connecting to my socket
successfully but my problem lies in that I am not sure why they are
sending me what they are sending me and what to do with it. when
exodus connects it sends me three bytes: 5 1 0. 5 I assume is for
socks version 5, 1 I assume is for command 1 but shouldn't that be
followed with the addr type, the addr and then the port? Thats if I am
reading the JEP correctly. Irregardless of whatever it means I send
back two bytes, 0 0, as an acknowledgement of the connection but then
exodus throws up an error message, unable to connect to any proxies.
>From PSI i recieve the output on the socket 5 2 0 2 and when i attempt
to send the ack 0 0 i get the error,  unable to connect to peer for
file transfer. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Alex
