Hi friends, I have learned enough to send and receive data between two computers via TCP protocol. I would like now to use this knowledge to move a file between them, however I still don t know very much about the structure of a file (of any extension: txt, doc, exe, pdf, )
Could you please tell me how can I split a file in its more elemental parts to send it as a String of characters?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to know what kind of a file it is. All files are just binary data, so if you know how to send and receive data, you can also send a file.Quote:

You can't send or receive binary data with a CString, because a CString is text.Quote:

So what is the function I have to use to open or display all the binary content of a file?
Regards
Thanks a lot. I´m going to look at it right now..
The code at that link doesn't work and should not be used (for proof, read all the comments that say "doesn't work" or "large files are corrupted" or "can't open transferred file").Quote:

Oops :blush: ... Googled for an example, didn't really check the comments or anything. Thanx for correcting me.Quote:
