before i really look into the samples available there... i need some confirmation first "on which is the best way or component to be used" cause i dont want to be stucked in the middle of nowhere because of the limitation of the component possess..... this is a must success project ...... Experts please advise me ...........
so why don't you have a look at the project descriptions there?
you can see what the project is capable of before you even find out what method it uses.. if it does what you want then you can add it to your shortlist - get a few projects to see which methods will be best fro you ;)
is confusing me .....................
the sample are all too advance for me ....... i am a beginner in using winsock ................. ok could you show me a simple downloader that download an exe file from a web site??
Eh, stop being lazy! ;) I'm sure there are plenty out there. A search at google should do the trick.

the above is the technique used to pushed the file to the client when a request is made ................
so how should i go about it?
if you can't work it out from somebody elses project then find tutorials to help you - there are thousands around the web. Most of them should end up giving you more than enough info to download files.

you are posting lots of questions in the same area, and ALL of them that i have read will be answered by a decent tutorial. you will also understand better that way, as everything will be explained to you..
