I will send data "02FF0000000000002059010010" to 192.168.3.222 port 5001.

When I look at the traffic with WIRESHARK I got "303246463030303030303030303030303230353930313030..." (26 bytes)!

Result from sendto() is 26, so the problem must be somewhere in my code!

It's written in C on a Ubuntu server (2.6.28-11-server)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The string "02FF0000000000002059010010" is 26 bytes, so everything is working as it should.

If you want to send the binary data that the string represents, then you will have to convert the string into a byte(char) array first.
