Hey I was playing around with a C++ program that I could send to them and if they ran it it would send me a file on their computer. Possibly though gmail? Nothing online is helping. Im useing dev-c++
Does anyone know how I can do it?
Edit----
I would like the program to send the file discreetly without any detection and maybe delete itself when finished.
It's not clear to me if you actually need help with network programming or gmail.
It certainly is possible to write a C++ program to send an email with an attachment. It sounds like that's all to your program, other than code for the desired file to be selected. I presume that this is merely an exercise to practise network programming; it'll be easier to have the other party simply send you an email!
What search terms did you use? I searched for "C++ email" and was rewarded with quite a few promising results.Quote:

Ah. Why not start by learning socket programming then?
Look into the Poco C++ Libraries. They have tools to send emails with attachments. I use them in some of my code, and I am really impressed with the quality and functionality of the software.

Put a big neon sign on it which says spyware.
