ITC - pulling my hair out

I need to write a program (console application) to send a file from my company to another company via the internet and receive status codes back. My understanding is that there was an ITC in VB6 called Inet that made it simple. Is there an equivalent component in VB 2005 that I can use? All the research I've done indicates there isnt one and I have to program something from scratch.

Please help if you have any idea...


Thanks!!

What's at the receiving end? Or are you coding both ends?

I'm sending it to a 'https' url that they have set up. Its just a text file with one loooong text stream.

Thanks!!
