Reading from a TCP socket into a file using binary.

[Jon Wilson]

I am trying to write an application to read data from a TCP socket into 
a file using binary. It is to be used to transfer a PNG file from a 
client to the server. However, I am having problems getting it to work.

The program is a multithreaded server which dispatches a thread upon an 
attempted connection which generates a random filename from the current 
time and then writes the data sent to the socket into the file.

As it stands, the program seems to copy one byte into the file, but 
doesn't seem to be the first bit from the file sent by the client. 
Please can someone help me with this. Have I missused the library? Or am 
I missing something obvious, I have been struggling with this for a 
while now!

Many Thanks.
