    Red face Sharing file through IP Address

    Hello,
    We two friends live in two diffrent cities. If we log on to internet at the same time, can we share files through IP address? Is there any activeX to do this? Or can I do it with VB?

    The simplest way could just be to run an FTP or Web server. You could use Windows sharing, but that'll be less secure.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    You can very easily swap the files via FTP or HTTP (or an FTP URL embedded in a HTML page). Either of these protocols require that you run a server. Depending on what is between you and what you are running, you may be able to map a drive to each other's machine. I wouldn't suggest running the NetBIOS and WINS protocols that would require that while you are on the internet, but you can with the proper firewall or tunneling.

    I don't know of any programs or ActiveX applets or DLLs that provide sharing, but since I know it is possible to write such an app, you may find someone who has done so. If not, you could try it yourself.

    In Explorer you may find an option "Map Network Drive". You can use a full UNC name, and use its IP address: //127.0.0.1/My Share/.

    You may want to also look for help on net use.
