I want to write some software that will allow an application on one computer to communicate with a similar application on another computer, via the internet. I want to be able to send instructions and possibly upload and download files. Is there any info on this, or any components that I could use? I use C++ Builder 4. Thanks, David

Either use TClientSocket/TServerSocket or the Indy component set. You'll probably find all the info you'll need if you Google search the cppbuilder groups for this. Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan, Do you know how I determine the IP numbers for the communication, and the server name. It's silly little things like that that I find can be a problem. Using the components should be easy to pick up.

If the two computers use a dynamic IP system like PPPoE or DHCP, then everytime they connect to the internet, is is very likely that the IP will change. So, you'd either have to use a central server that manages the remote computer IP addresses, or use dynamic domain names. HTH Jonathan
