    Is it possible to crate a program (through Visual Basic) that will send a file through TCP (using ip addresses) to a second computer. This second computer would be able to download it via download explorer/netscape "save as dialoge"(The dialoge that shows up when you attempt to download a file through a website) Note: The computer downloading will not have software listening for the connection.

    Can somebody please help me! I will gladly give credit in my software.

    Try using Internet Transfer Control. Inet, with the FTP protocol. The server needs to have the FTP server running. You need to have username and password and it should operate like a normal FTP client/server connection.

    Or you could write a small web server which
    listens on port 80 and when Netscape or IE connects you can send it text and options on what they want to download. I have done this (only in C, not VB) and it works fairly well.
