Hi

i have implement client server program
client ask the server to download file
then the server send that file to the client if it exist

i create file in the server project/folder and type data on it
i can see data appear correctly on the Text editor
but when the data sent to the client its apear many ununderstandable characters followd by my original data

something like this :

Check the format in which you have saved the file in your editor.
Hope your server code is not doing anything wrong with the encoding of the characters to be sent.
Can see some escape sequences for tab and unicode, so maybe you can post a cleaned up code snippet.
