Need Help or advise on File Transfer

[vbMarkO]

I am needing to write and or find a program that will allow me to connect direct to another computer via the internet via IP

 

In other words... my computer connect to your computer by connecting using IP address as target for computer.

 

I need then once I make this connection be able to tranfer files either direction using this connection.

 

I need from you some direction as to where I can find more info or even software that already does this.

If you want to avoid writing your own software, the easiest thing to do would be to leverage FTP. There are many free FTP servers and clients available, mainly because the protocol is extremely simple. Regardless, you could probably just use one of these freebie servers and then connect to it using the new FtpWebRequest class:

If you do not have the need to perform any custom actions on the client, then just use a free FTP client. A quick Google search should produce plenty of results.
