Sending a picture

Can anyone suggest the easiest way of sending a picture from one app to another using winsock. The picture dimensions are 200x260 pixels always.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for showing me that program, it has helped a lot. A question though. I have tried running the program on my local machine, using 127.0.0.1, and when sending a picture, it sends it fine. However, when using the program over my 2 machines (over an internet connection), not all the picture is recieved. On a larger piucture it completely missed of the bottom half, and on a smaller picture, the bottom couple of lines were distorted.

Any ideas??

Thanks

I can't really say anything since I don't know your code but heres a simple plan i would use if i were to send a picture.

create winsocks
bind them
connect
Open file in binary mode
send a simple packet to tell the client your ganna be sending a picture
wait for client response
then read in from file and send packets..
while the client is recieving the packets its triggered that its recieving a picture
so it can easily write the file instead of checking if the packet is correct.

This should work for receiving all the packets.
Don't forget it has to be a tcp/ip connection.
