Sending and Receiving Byte Data Using Winsock

$

I seem to be having a problem either sending byte data or receiving byte data or both using Winsock. When I get the data in DataArrival into a byte array it isn't correct; it's garbage.

Here is my code - Client sends byte data to Server

Client Code:

Code:

Dim b() As Byte
Dim DataSent As Boolean

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Open App.Path & "\mypicture.jpg" For Binary Access Read As #1
   
 ReDim b(0 To LOF(1) - 1)
   
 Get #1, , b
   
 Close #1
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Winsock1.Close
 Winsock1.Connect "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", 8888
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
 DataSent = False
 Winsock1.SendData b
 Do While DataSent = False
  DoEvents
 Loop
 Winsock1.Close
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_SendComplete()
 DataSent = True
End Sub


Server Code:

Code:

Option Explicit

Dim Buffer() As Byte

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Winsock1.Close
 Winsock1.LocalPort = 8888
 Winsock1.Listen
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_Close()
 Open App.Path & "\BYTE_ARRAY.BYT" For Binary As #1
 Put #1, 1, Buffer
 Close #1
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
 Winsock1.Close
 Winsock1.Accept requestID
 Buffer = ""
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
 Winsock1.GetData Buffer
End Sub

When I look at the data in "BYTE_ARRAY.BYT" using a Hex Editor I can see that the data is garbage and is not even close to what it should look like which would be the "mypicture.jpg" file format.
