Trouble with sockets

[Braindrool12]

Hello, of course i'm still having troubles with sockets...
Though for the forum leaders, yes i put a post that my old thread was done! But let me get to the point! I see a lot of "simple" server and clients. But they just don't suit me!
1. I don't know how to link to winsock.
2. The codes are extreemly long for many of the source codes I find.
3. They go over what i need.

For the number 3, I'll explain, I just want like something that you put a file on. And then another person can download it. Like a direct connect server/client. Could someone help me? I'm really frusturated with all the trouble! Also I know about sockets, but i don't know how to use them or anything. Any links, or sources would be greatly honored! Please reply soon!

I would recommend MSDN link for winsock

Thanks for the link! That helped a lot with the functions! Though is that how i link winsock to it? Whats the '.h' for? Also is there a certain winsock i need for c++ sockets? I just have winsock.dll and i don't know a thing about linking it to source code/project. Because I always see things like, winsock2, winsock, winsock32 and lots of winsocks! Please reply soon! =)

Try using winsock2 and i think your issue will be solved

I took a look at the link, that helps my winsock issues. But it says i should be familiar with VC, also already know how to set up a socket. The problem is i don't know how to do those (from what the site says.)

Standard socket calls work with the Microsoft compiler.
You need not know anythink specific about VC, only u should be familiar with the IDE.

Well thanks for the help! Though i haven't been on thescripts.com for a while. So sorta a late response i guess. =l Though I found Something more enjoyable than sockets ( im not saying sockets are boring or not usefull, i think there extreemly importent for online stuff!) Though i found computer graphics to be entertaining! But thanks for the help you gave me already!!!
