void _send(char* fileTosend)
{
	FILE *file;
	char *buffer;
	unsigned long fileLen;

	file = fopen(fileTosend, "rb");
	if (!file)
	{
		printf("%s\r\n", "File not found");
	}

	fseek(file, 0, SEEK_END);
	fileLen=ftell(file);
	fseek(file, 0, SEEK_SET);

	buffer = new char[fileLen];

	fread(buffer, fileLen, 1, file);
	char size[MAX_PATH];
	sprintf(size, "%i", fileLen);

	fclose(file);
	send(sConnect, size, MAX_PATH, 0); //send file size
	
	send(sConnect, buffer, fileLen, 0); //send binary
	free(buffer);
}

        char* buffer = new char[1024];

	if(recv(sConnect, (char*)buffer, 1024, 0)) //receive file size

		dwSize = atoi((const char *)buffer);
		printf("File Size: %i\r\n", dwSize);
	}
	char* ibuffer = new char[dwSize];

	if(recv(sConnect, (char*)ibuffer, dwSize, 0))//recv binary
	{

		fwrite((const char*)ibuffer, 1, dwSize, pfile);
		fclose(pfile);

the problem is im not receiving all the binary

That's exactly the problem. You stop receiving before all data has arrived - you have to call recv until there is no data left.
