Peer to Peer file sharing in VB [modified]
-
I'm working with VB6 (it's the only programming interface I've got). I'm trying to write an application that allows friends to send files back and forth, sort of like MSN does, but with other features I plan to add myself. I basically just need to know what controls and methods I use to set up and send/recieve these transfers between two machines over the net. I did a google search and found a lot of articles about the Internet Transfer control, but these seem to only allow you to download content off of websites. Forgive me if this has been discussed already. I'm gonna keep searching, but I wanted to post this here in case someone had any quick answers. Thanks in advance.

You'd probably be looking at implementing your own server using Sockets. I'd start by Googling for "VB6 winsock".
