Trasnfering files 1

[josemauricio]

People, good evening!

I want to build an app that will be installed in my clients, that must transfer some compacted files from the client machine to my server, and vice versa. How can I compact this files and does someone have an example how can I do this?

Thanx for some answer.

José Maurício.

You can make files smaller by zipping/nzipping them. I don't think this is supported directly from .NET, but there must be plenty libraries out there. Or you could use a command line tool you call through Shell. I suggest 7-ZIP, as it seems to have a good compression rate.

Thanx both for reply.

Chip, it's over the Internet.

Mick, I'll look for this.

The best, most internet-friendly, method would be to transfer the files using the FTP protocol. Unfortunately, there's no FTP support in the .NET framework itself.

I haven't used it, but a L-GPL'd FTP library is available at:

I was trying to runaway from FTP, but I'm noticing that it's not possible, hehehehe.

Thank you Chip. I'll fallow your advise.
