Can anyone point me to a tutorial on the best way to open a connection from client to server, read in a binary file and send its contents reliably across the network connection? Even better, is there an open source library that already does this that I could refer to?
You should look into binary serialization and sending it over a TCP socket.
Good explanation on different types of serialization:

Good primer on TCP Client/Server in C#:
