sending data over sockets in MS VisualC++

[shanlon]

it's an easy task to send a string from one machine to another using sockets.
At the moment i'm using CAsyncSocket to do this and it works fine...

How would one send data such as a structure that is eg 1MB big?
Sending strings seems to be simple because they are not terribly long so you can allocate a buffer large enough.

I also want to receive data (approx 10MB) from a machine and write this data to a file .. do i take this data and store it in a buffer or can i write it straight to file?

Can anyone help?

Hi,
I don't know this will solve your problem,
Use a file, and read value ( 1024 byte, for example ) from the file by ordering and send it end of the each reading.
