Network Transfer

[Smee]

Hi all

when i transfer files from a program written in vb or similar i can simply transfer files from 1 computer to another with only 1 program running, for example

name app.path & "\filename.txt" as destpath & "\Newname.txt"

where destpath would be the drive and directory on another computer. This would happen on wireless or cable

From what i have read for b4ppc i nead to have a program running all the time as a server to receive the file. is this correct?

is there a way to ftp via a wireless connection to another computer?

i am just looking for the most simple way possible to do a file transfer whenever i need to

thanks

Joe

I imagine "Name" in VB will only work if the network shares are in place. I would have thought that it should also work for the same network shares with FileCopy in Basic4ppc as long as you give it the right parameters.
