file transfer in a TCP/IP connection

's Computer Specifications

Hello,

I'm making a client/server program which use a tcp/ip connection. Client and Server
have no problem to communicate by strings.
But I want to know if it is possible (and how) to send a file (acrobat reader file) with
a tcp/ip connection.

Best Ragards,

François Dehaibe

You can send anything you want by TCP. Its just a binary stream.

If you use Socket classes in .Net they have Read/Write methods that accept arrays of bytes as parameers. In this way you may transfer binary data.

With Indy it has overloads for files, streams, bytes, and many other binary
and other types.

Its free too. It certainly makes socket work a LOT easier.
