Hi All,

I had the same problem and I decided to use FTP. I found a good source
on
  http://www.afu.com

That source works with text files, but there ar a only a few changes
to make it work with binaries. 

I think the greatest problem in generall is the network not how
to transfer. 100 MByte files takes a litle time to transfer.

Why do you want to transfer your data line by line. Why don't you
tread your file as a binary and read it block by block. Be sure
which size of block your Application can handle and write it to
the socket. Let the transfer protocol (TCP) do the rest. It's 
the job of your network Protocoll to find the best size for
a transfer.
