Direct transfer via internet

How can I transfer a file directly to another computer using my own vb project?

Is there a certain reference or control that I would use?

I know the IP address of the other computer, and my project will be on both computers.

Thanks,
Brady

You can use the Inet control for FTP, but a FTP server must be running on the remote computer.

If you want to jump into winsock programming, look at the free socketwrench control, which has a sample program for a file transfer.

Hi,Doug G!U have a wrong in what you said.If transfer files between 2 pc,it's selective that transfer data Sended PC with FTP service or transfer data Recieved PC with FTP service..If Sended PC with FTP service,the remote PC(Recieved PC) can get the data from Sended PC;If the Recieve PC(Remote PC) with FTP service,the Sended PC can put the data to the Recieve PC..So statement:"a FTP server must be running on the remote computer. " is wrong!..

As cleverpig said above, you need to have an FTP server, i.e., some program that can listen to port 21, authenticate logins, etc, running on the remote computer to establish a FTP connection. Once the connection is established you can transfer data in either direction.

Thanks, I'll look into the socketwrench control.
