File Sharing

Hello

I can't find a simple app that allows computers, withing a LAN to share files with eachother.
That's why I would like to create an app, that finds all the computers, who are running my app, so that files can be shared (in fact, it's a little bit like what windows offers, but I would like to create it myself)

Where can I find tutorials about this? I'm not familiar at all with networking in VB, I learned VB5pro (general stuff and databases)

any ideas?

if, by file sharing u mean something similar to napster, then you need to create a client and a server.
i don't know of any tutorials as such, but what i usaully do is download the source code of an app similar to what i want, and see how it's done.
a good place to go is http://acky.net/vb (or your case http://acky.net/vb/vbtcp).
if u want some help with the your project, email me([email protected])

so you mean like Network Neighborhood ?

yeah, but I can't use the network neighbourhood from windows, because the administator turned it off ;-)

I think this app does what you want. It's written in vb and it's open source.:)
