Sending binary files

[mattias1975]

Hello!

Does anyone know how to send binaryfiles(.exe) with sockets?
Not text files. Thats easy. I already know how to do that.
Some example code would be great.

Thank you.

Same way you send text files I imagine, with two points to note.
1. Open the files in binary mode "rb" and "wb"
2. Send an initial message containing the length of the file, so the receiver knows when it has received all the data.
