simple client-server program ??

Hi,

how do I develop the following 'simple' program using ASP.NET webforms :

a client has a text-file (aaa.txt) that has to be manipulated by code
located on the server, the server would then manipulate the content and send
the manipulated content back to the client, where the client saves it to
(bbb.txt)

What scenario would be best :

1) 1st scenario ("pull model") : the server using an url (given by the
client) that specifies the location of the file on the client and the server
would then download the file, manipulate it and send it back. but how ??
what is the exact code to do this ? what classes do I use ? ...

or

2) 2nd scenario : the client sending the file to the server, the server
manipulating the file and sending it back to the client.
again how ??
how do I 'send' a file to the other-side ? the client code may not be .NET
code I guess , right ? so how do I send a file to the other side ? in
Javascript then ? and how ?
an how do I save a file on the client in JavaScript ?

lots of questions I know.

any help greatly appreciated !!!
thnx
Chris

2) is much better as there is no need to have a special configuration client
side wihtout talking about security.

You can upload a file awith the htmlInputFile control (that creates an Input
type=file HTML tag) and the download is done using :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=260519

Note that for security reasons, the user will specify what is the file to
upload (using the HTML control) and the article above will allow the user to
specify where the file should be stored...

I've to give the client ID to my customers. As this number will be used in a third part app, and I only rely on this number for checking the user's existence (I can't change the third part app), I'd like not to give the flat number, but an "encoded" number that let me check if the code is valid. Let's say client ID = 723 I'd like to have a code quite simple to provide by phone, without any strange things like @^~... for simple users...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
