Transfer a Big File Python

Can someone give me a brief idea on how to transfer large files over the internet?

I tried with sockets, but it does not work. I am not sure what the size of receiving sockets should be. I tried with 1024 bytes. I send the data from one end and keep receiving it at the other end.

Is there any other way apart from sockets, I can use in Python?

I encountered the same problem, and i solved it by chopping the file up and then sending the parts separately (load the file, send file[0:512], then send file[512:1024] and so on. Before sending the file i sent the length of the file to the receiver so the it would know when its done.

I know this probably isn't the best way to do this, but i hope it will help you.
