Yeah I linked to that, it's called the WinInet API. It's kind of a dirty .......... but it's pretty cool I guess. I don't think you really gave a solid attempt to look for resources yourself, but if you want the utter most basic winsock tutorial in the world, MSDN has it, under the name "Getting Started with Winsock". The code is commented, all the functions ref's are linked and explained, and there is simply nothing more complex than a Hello World. Looky here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...th_winsock.asp

Ok, first error
[Linker error] undefined reference to `WSAStartup@8'
Another error
4 C:\Programs\Dev-Cpp\Templates\main6.cpp `main' must return `int'

main must start with int, and return a int,
the following is a example on how main should be declared.

Code:

int main()
{

     return 0;
}

for some applications you may need

INT WINAPI MAIN()

or

int WINAPI MAIN()

either way it shoudl start with int and return int.

that will get rid of that error.

for your other error your not linking to something correctly
your prolyl doing a consoel application when you should
be picking a windows application on devc++.

If all you want to do is download files clean and simple, the solution was already given in the third post.

Code:

URLDownloadToFile( NULL, "http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/images/logo.gif", "c:\\google_logo.jpg", 0, NULL );

Check what headers and libs you need at the link given by Tonto. Make sure you check return values.

Maybe socket programming is a bit over your head just now and all you need is this simplified functionality.

What header file do I need for that?
