yes this really was rather too vague a question and if you don't have some of the basics of networking understood you're going to have a tough time. There are classes in the OS to deal with various types of network transfer, most of the NS* ones are reasonably high level, at the very bottom you have CFSocket which will do anything you like but needs an understanding of sockets. The GameKit APIs will let you have a quick bluetooth connection between two or more devices and is actually darned well designed for startup and teardown and quick opaque data transfer, if you want more generic client-server you have more work to do, including finding a method for telling device B what the IP address of device A is, that's tough.

Can you possibly narrow down what you're trying to do? Is it bluetooth (gamekit), is it internet? Do you have a central server to talk to, are you talking any high level protocols like HTTP which you can use the higher level APIs for or are you raw data on a socket?

I'm going to assume this is a typo, otherwise you're going to have a difficult time achieving this goal. :-)


Can you please point me in the right direction?

Documentations to read? tutorials on the web? or please share your experience...

Since your question is general (I'm assuming you mean "how do I send and receive"), the answer is general as well:
