Guys, it works!!

My bad, I am not ignoring them it's just that I somewhat misunderstood your
directions.

Thanks, the extra code really helped fill in the gap

Oh, I interpreted it the way an int variable is incremented by '+=', as in
int a; a += 1;  Again, my mis-understanding.

Also, I discovered an error in the code that caused files sent over to the
server to be pre-padded with 'blank' bytes equal to the original file/data
size over.  So a file that is 192 Bytes on the client become 384 Bytes on
the server.  The error is where you pre-initialized the size of FS to the
size of the data sent over.  As in:

ReadFile(TWinSocketStream *Stream, AnsiString &FileName)
{
......
         try
                {
                    TFileStream *FS = new TFileStream(fn, fmCreate);

                    try
                    {
                        FS->Size = size; <- Problem here
....
}

Once I commented out the line, it worked perfectly!!

Gambit, I want to thank you again for your time and effort on this one ...
again, your help really got me out of a ditch.  The same goes for Jonathan
and Hans, your insights help me better grasp how the data is managed and
sent.
