thanks, but since server is an inter-network machine I'm not too worried about the security part, and also there r few other reasons, but ayways, I would really like to stick to FTP.

Hi, I've a FTP server, which is a Unix box, and here are some 100s of log files reside. Also, I'm trying to develope an application in C# where at one point i need these log files to be copied to the developement machine [which on the later date going to be small App Server, anyways,]. Now, my problem is these log files are going to be updated daily and I need to analyze them on daily basis. It would be awesome if I could just write a small program in C# which will just transfer these files on the developemtn machine on the back-ground. Although I think .net remoting or .net's System.net might be usefull I have no idea about that. I would really apreciate if you could tell me 2 things... 1) If it is at all possible [withought user intervention, coz path and file name convesion n everything is all fixed, and its not going to change] 2) If it is possible, I would appreciate if i could get a little push towards the right direction thanks

Hi, I'm working on vb. net and sql server... I have a table called "rproduct" which has 2 fields declared as 'datetime' namely for "date received" and "time received". I'm using datagrid in vb .net to view the table data and also to modify and update etc. The problem was that I wasnt able to view only time and only date in the respective fields, instead I used to get 'date and time' in both the fields. So what I did is something like this select substring(cast(dater as varchar),0,13), substring(cast(timeR as varchar),14, 20) from rproduct and I set respective column in dataset's .xsd file as 'string' so that I can c the only date in "date received" field and just time in "time received" field. But now the problem is I dont know how can I save the changes made in these fields back to database??? shatru2k

well, first of all I dont have rights to access a server machine where the sql server database is... so i have to go to thru this machine here they have set ms access project... and secondly this is what a client has requested to do... I can ask him if it is not at all possible to connect to sql server via access project in vb .net

Hi, I'm relatively new to vb .net. Right now I'm working on a project where actual database is in SQL Server. But the "Access Project" file has been created to connect to SQL Server database. I can not connect to SQL Server directly, basically no one has access to SQL Server directly. So if we need to access it we have to go thru the access project that have been created. I'm using vb .net to create an application that involves this database, but I dont know how can I connect to "access project" file to access SQL Server database using vb .net??? Is it at all possible? can u guys help me with this? shatru2k
