internet programming resources

errm, i'm looking for tutorials on C++ internet-related programming tutorials.
For example, let's say i want to create a program that downloads a file from the internet, how would i do it in C++?

or if i want to download a file from an ftp using a program, how can i do that?

thanks it advance. (basically, it's file transfers using internet)

Try www.cplusplus.com. Lots of great tutorials there.

Take a look at www.codeproject.com they've probably got what you want. As for downloading a file the the net you would need to write a web server with the sockets layer to the OS your using. In windows it is called WinSocks.
