Transfer local files to server via web service?

Hi List,

I would like to transfer files from my local machine to a remote server via
a web service which runs on the remote server. Is this possible to do with a
..net web service? Ideally I would like to do what an FTP application does
except have the web service running on the server provide the functionality
and have client applications running locally use the web service to transfer
files.

Could I do this with a web service? Thanks for any tips.

You can create a webservice that exposes functions like an FTP server
with similar commands. For example you can have a login method, a
"list" method, an "Upload" or a "Download" method and even a "resume"
method.

You'll have to implement this yourself of course, but it definitely is
possible.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a good way to go about it.
