I know how to use winsock very well, I'm just not sure how I would send data like images over winsock. How fast would it be too? I need it to send the data in less than a second, maybe even less than half a second. Like viewing a webcam on the internet direct from their server.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Don't count on it. There are too many factors involved that influence the time. Your computer speed, Your Internet connection speed, what kind of a connection do you have, How big is the image, Is it compressed or not, How much traffic is already going on, how good is your ISP, etc, etc, etc.

There is no real guaranteed way to insure that you can send images at any amount of time.

As far as sending images; you send them just like you would send any data. Image data is no different than text data; it's all binary when it is sent.
