how to send the image file using sockets,i want to get the exact size in the client side.i was using the send the image file as 1 bit at a time.at the receiving end i got additional zeros.can anyone tell me the solutions.
Not kernel related, but anyway.
You can't send things 1 bit at a time (well, not without additional overhead), the minimum transfer size is 1 byte. If you try to send 1 bit at a time, you get an additional overhead of the 7 other bits in a byte.
Because this is a basic networking question, I suggest to read one of the Stevens books on networking. See http://www.kohala.com/start/ .
