Passing encrypted string through socket, weird behavior?

I am writing a client/server application, which involves the Blowfish cipher.

I have a problem, when I send encrypted data from the client to the server...
It takes the content and reads up to a certain point then truncates it, sending the remaining data to another file.

The data is:

It splits at the end and puts 7.W6NIF. in another file, named 7.W6NIF.

ls -lastrb indicates there is a special character on this filename:
7.W6NIF.\012



Questions:

1) Is there a way in C++ to force the read of strings as literal, instead of being "processed".

2) Is there some character code that caused the split? The buffers appear to be fine. Why split at this position?

3) Why is there a \012 on the filename of the unwanted file?
