Sending Binary Data over a network

Hi,
How can i send binary data over a network using winsock. I dont want to
use a char array as the binary data has a lot of 'NUL' characters in it which
causes problems when i receive data using recv() and store in a character
array.

What problems do you get?
"char" has nothing to do with strings... so I do not see the problem...

If you interpret a char-array as a string then this is your problem...
