Dear All,

I am having a client who is wishing to develop a website where in his registered users can upload their word/excel files and other files like image, pdf, etc files on server into their respective folders.

He wants a VB application to be developed and installed on the registered users PC by which only he can connect and the server and can upload/download their files.

Can anybody please help me what script can I use to connect server and upload and download files?

Thanks & Regards,
Jimit Shah.

Not to sound rude or anything, but this requires a little more than you're requesting.. if you have no idea, i don't really think you should be grabbing clients that require such a task. But that is just me.

You need to write a socket server for the client, and then make a client for your client, and then make the client's client upload the data.. if that at all makes sense. To me it does..

Thanks for the info.

I have not learned socket programming and I donot have expertise in it. Is their any other option?

Can I use FTP to upload/download files?

Thanks & Regards,

FTP is quite simple to program; is this VB6 or VB.NET?
