Hi,

I'm not a C programmer but there's some information on using Perl sockets here:

I am not inscrutable.

Want great answers to your Tek-Tips questions? Have a look at faq219-2884

print $socket substr($file,0,512);
print $socket substr($file,512,512); etc

cdlvj,
in your sample, it looks like only portion of the file got read (by substr) and sent. how repeat/loop to send entire file? this is what i currently have:

...
while ( read( OpenedFile, $file, $myBufferSize ) ) {
# print $socket substr($file,0,512);
# print $socket substr($file,512,512); etc
print $socket substr($file,0,512);
}
...

thanks
