Need Suggestions

Dear All,
I want to make filing system program ( Client / Server ) and this is for LAN only.
The user will be able to upload files from local to server and download files from
server to local.
At this moment i'm just using simply network path to get the file over LAN, exp :

Quote:

---

\\ComputerName\C$\[ File Name ] or [ Directories ]

---

the operations for copying the files or directories is using SHFileOperations

Now what i'm gonna to ask is, considering for the best way there's 2 thing in my mind.

1. still using the SHFileOperations or,
2. Using Winsock

If using winsock, considering the filesize are frighten me

Please your opinion :( i'm using VB 6.0

Best regard, Noob

there is a beginner tutorial for a basic app which sends files over winsock, find it at www.winsockvb.com that shoud be all you need:)

Dear all,
How much maximum packet size if i'm using winsock ?
And if i'm cutting the file into separates packets, how much minimum size for each packets that would be the best size ?
( Currently write for Send and receives functions )

Sorry if i'm asking too much here
Regard, Noob

I'm not sure what the maximum packet size is but I know its pretty big. I would try just varying the packet size to see which is the fastest, the tutorial probably uses a sensible packet size
