You should have a look at this tutorial (Creating your own Chat Messenger). It explains the project with detailed infomation and it has exact commands that I have added.

This is the all TCP string and File Transfer client server sample code. Enjoy!

Master Zero, I think there is a bug in this program. It seems to be a buffer issue. If you transfer a small text file (my tests were with one of 10k) then then end of the file is full of white space. when debugging the code it seems that if the file size is smaller than the buffer size then it writes white space to the file until it is the same size as the buffer.

I hope you are still reading this thread!
