TCP\IP Programming Problem

[nasir_qau]

I want to send an exe file to my client form linux server machine using TCP\IP sockets. Does any one know?

LOL. :D Well, I didn't know that you want to send an exe file until you just told me. But I do now, so I guess my answer is yes! :D

I think you should read "Unix Network Programming" by Richard Stevens!

Basically
create a socket using the "socket()" system call
connect() to the server address and port
write() the file to the socket as you would to any other file descriptor
close() the socket when you're through.


You might want to be careful about the host and network byte orders.

See the man pages for more details.
