Multiple simultaneous file xfer over a single socket

Is this possible?

Or do I have to create another socket for each file xfer to have more
than one xfer at a time?

Thanks

That depends on the protocol you're using. You may create a protocol
that supports multiplexing, but I think it would be easier to use
multiple sockets and let the OS take care of multiplexing issues...

There is an example on how to transfer multiple files through sockets on my
website ( see sig.)
It however uses only one connection. I doubt whether you can enhance
performance by using multiple sockets, since there is (mostly) only one CPU
at both sides...
