In order to read file name you should use $file1=<$conn>.

Only if
print $sock "$file";
is changed to
print $sock "$file\n";

You're right. I suggest something like this for client side: `print $sock "$file\0";` [download] and something like this for server: `{ local $/ = "\0"; $file1 = <$conn>; chomp $file1; }` [download] "\n" isn't portable. And at least on *nix file name may contain "\n"	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You might find Internet Line Terminators interesting. Not that what you recommend wouldn't work, but there might be some value in being consistent with many of the existing protocols.	[reply]
