java application connecting to a server

[wildheart25c]

I don't know how or where to start so ill present you with a scenario and hopefully youll tell me how i can do this using java.
i start my java application. the application manages pictures. lets say i change the name of hte picture or even edit the pic itself. then i press upload. a small pop up window appears asking me to enter my login info. i do so and press CONNECT. the application connects me to a server and uploads the picture to it.
thts it.
how do i do this? i already wrote the code that handles the pictures. searching sorting etc. but how do i do the connection part. the server is a new pc that ill b buying next week. ill read on how to turn a pc to a server. but after that im totally clueless.
Help?

One can think effectively only when one is willing to endure suspense and to undergo the trouble of searching...
