How to write TransmitPackets function in winsock2 ?

Question

Hi all, I'm writing a file transfer application in VC++(Server) using UDP. I came to know in winsock2, there are some functions which are useful in file transfer. Can anybody help me. I'm also looking for a sample application of TransmitPackets of winsock2 but not gettng. Please help me. Thank you.

Here is the sample application and source code which will help you.

Following is the sender function which take string, size of string, IP and Port and send packets over UDP.

int sender(char cSendBuffer[], int iBufferSize, char cIP[], int iPort)
{
    WSADATA wsaData;
    WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData);

    char cBroadcast = '1';
    int iNumBytes = 0;

    struct sockaddr_in their_addr;
    struct hostent *he;

    SOCKET sock;
    sock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);

    if(setsockopt(sock,SOL_SOCKET,SO_BROADCAST,&cBroadcast,sizeof(cBroadcast)) < 0)
    {
        printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
        printf("Error in setting UDP option");
        printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
        return 0;
    }//End if

    their_addr.sin_family      = AF_INET;
    their_addr.sin_port        = htons(iPort);
    //Target IP
    their_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr (cIP);                       

    int iSentBytes =0;

    //Send bytes through socket
    iSentBytes = sendto(sock,cSendBuffer, iBufferSize,0,(sockaddr*)&their_addr,sizeof(their_addr));

    if( iSentBytes < 0)
    {
        printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
        printf("Data Sending Error");
        printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
        closesocket(sock);
        return 0;
    }//End if

    else
    {
        printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
        printf("\n Data sent successfully to AT PORT:%d AND IP:%s \n",iPort,cIP);
        printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
    }//End else

        closesocket(sock);
        WSACleanup();
        return 1;

}//End Fuction For Sending Packet

Following is the receiver function of UDP.

    int UDPReceiver( void )
    {
        char cRecievedBuffer[TRACK_BUFFER_SIZE];

        WSADATA wsaData;
        WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData);
        SOCKET sock;
        sock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);

        // my address information
        struct sockaddr_in  my_addr;
        // connector's address information
        struct sockaddr_in  their_addr;

        //sizeof (ANSI C function)
        int len = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);

        my_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        my_addr.sin_port = htons(MYPORT);

        //Automatically fill with my IP
        my_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

        if (bind(sock,(sockaddr*)&my_addr, sizeof (my_addr)) < 0)
        {
            printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
            printf(" Error in BINDING ");
            printf("\n ----------------------------------------- \n");
            return 0;
        }//End if

        while(recvfrom(sock,cRecievedBuffer,TRACK_BUFFER_SIZE,0,(sockaddr *)&their_addr,&len))
        {

//Your Decoder code

       }

     }
