    Resolved Multi file transfer

    Hello seniors n friends

    I have a problem and i think this the right place.

    I can transfer file from one PC to another with WINSOCK.

    What i want to do now is to upload a file so that many users can download

    that file in any given time.

    Let say is a WINSOCK server-client file transfer

    where the server can upload a file for the rest of the clients to download.

    (One-to-Many)

    Any help?

    Well, there are many services available in the web, which allow to upload a file and allows many others to download it.
    To provide downloads for many other compuiters you must have a public server and a domain wher people can log in to do the download. Perhaps VB6 is not the best choice to program such a project.

    Or, ...
    1. create an FTP address
    2. give others (in any way) a small app. witch ceck daily any file change on FTP
    3. if any change is find it, then download this file(s).
    If you don't have, or if you don't want to use a WEB services, is possible to use an FTP solution.

    Microsoft LIVE Service includes SKYDRIVE. That will sync ANYTHING, and you can share it!

    Each time when you decide to use an external service try to think '... what you want or what you need in the future...'.
    In time, I see, to many WEB services which appear and disappear, so ... I say again ... Ask you him self, ''what you need or what you want, in the future ?''

    Code:
    I see, to many WEB services which appear and disappear, so
    I didn't mention just ANY service. Just one that works, without any coding required.
