file transfer

How do you transfer files from one computer to another computer in a network using winsock?

Winsock talks a protocol from one program to another.
Therefore you would need to have your program talk to another of your programs - and then you can decide the protocol between them.

Or else, you would need to write your program to talk the FTP protocol over Winsock, on the assumption that the receiving end of FTP is already available on the other end.

I already have the tcp connection using winsock. I have written an instant messenger program. I would like to add file transfer to it, but all my efforts have been in vain
