TCP File Transfer

Hi.
I am trying to write a vb.net program to send large files via TCP. I
was wondering if there was a code example or book that demonstrates
how to write a simple file transfer program of large files (5-10
megs). I can make a simple chat program sending simple text.
However, I want to be able to send larger data like the file transfer
in the MSN Messenger.

Thanks,
Chris

re: TCP File Transfer

Hi Chris,

I have no code or book recommendations, I'm afraid.

I'm wondering, though, what issues you are expecting to have to deal with.
You have the TCP connection and sending working from your previous app. What's
next for you? Where do you see the challenges?

I do recommend that you study Threading. You'll be needing it so that your
file transfer pump can operate without hindering your UI.

Regards,
Fergus
