SendCmd() is designed for textual commands/parameters only. You would have
to send the binary data after SendCmd() exited, and the server would have to
read the binary data after sending a response back to the client. For
example:
--- client ---
begin
IdTCPClient1.SendCmd('DoIt', 200);
// send binary data, such as with Write(TStream) or
Write(TIdBytes)...
end;
--- server ---
procedure TForm1.DoItCommand(ACommand: TIdCommand)
begin
//...
if (ok to send data) then
begin
ACommand.Reply.SetReply(200, 'Ready to receive data');
ACommand.SendReply;
// read binary data, such as with ReadStream() or ReadBytes()...
end else
ACommand.Reply.SetReply(500, 'Error!');
end;
> I streamed the data as param
The only way to do that is to encode the data into a textual format, such as
hex or base64, that has no line breaks in it after being encoded.

That is what Indy's CommandHandler system is supposed to do. It is designed
for line-based textual protocols.
