Hello,

I'm searching for an option to transfer a zip-file via ROS. Is there any possibility to do this?

Thanks in advance

This really sounds like you're looking for a linux file-transfer tool such as scp or rsync.

I suppose you could define a new message type, probably with a string field for the file name and byte[] field for the raw data, and publish that on a topic.

You could execute a system command for scp directly from your node but probably with no feedback about the status of the transferring. It depends on your use case.
