    Winsock crashing

    I've found that my chat/file transfer program seems to crash when transfering files. All I do is read from the file, send a chunk (1024 characters), and wait for the other program to ask for the next. (repeat)

    I figure there's just so much data being sent (this is from myself to myself) that it crashes one of the clients, or even the server program in between.

    Common problem?
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    send smaller chunks. Have a seperate socket just for file transfers and you should be able to handle big enough chunks without crashing.

    What type files are you sending though? ALL kinds...txt files, image, exe etc ? Depending on what u want to allow to be sent can help you decide the way you want the transfers to go about..

    I'll try chopping chunks to 512

    It sends any file type.

    One socket for everything, but I'm not chatting or anything else while the file transfer is in progress.

    Obviously the server uses more than one socket.
