sending files using WinSock

[TBONE917]

Can anyone tell me how to send executables, dlls, etc. using WinSock??

Well...basically just like everything else...as a stream of bytes... :cool:

See this article "Network Transfer Of Files Using MFC's CSocket Class" at http://www.codeproject.com/internet/SocketFileTransfer.asp

The article uses CSocket, but it should be easy to adapt to blocking sockets

Another method (most efficient while using winsock) is to use the API TramsmitFile(). This file is a MS specific extention. So you need mswsock.h and mswsock.lib.
