The file is just data, which I'm assuming you can open and read.
Since you can also write to the socket you just need to open the file
and spin through it writing each line out to the socket. You'll
probably need to signal the other end that you're about to send a
file and also signal it when you're done. The receiving end will
just need to write out each line to a file handle as it receives it.
Depending on how critical this app is you might want to look into how
ftp does it (I'm assuming that you can't just use ftp or scp for some
reason). Google for 'ftp protocol' to get tons of docs, or read rfc
959.
I think you should take a crack at writing some code and then post
back with some more specific problems if you encounter them.
