Greetings techies,
Have a good question to make you all think! Here is my issue: I have 7 PC's in remote locations that I need to send and receive files from all in one connection. I know you can set the MSComm control up to dial your modem on the local machine, and set the MSComm control up on the other machine, to answer the local machines call. But once I get a clean connection estabished, how can I start sending and receiving files, without purchasing an outside program module? I know that there is programs like PDQ, and SAX, but I would like to try and code around the outside applications. Does anybody know of a way to allow this to occur?
Our current application uses PDQ to send and receive files, but we are only able to use one type of modem, and you can't purchase it anymore. So, we need to redevelop this application, but I would like to get away from outside applications if at all possible. The way our current system is set up is like this: The program reads a text file with a list of files to send from the local machine to the remote machine, and then reads a list of files to get from the remote machine, to send to the local machine. After this processing is done, the two modems disconnect from each other.
Any support or feedback I can get with this issue would be greatly appreciated. An early thank you goes out to thoes who reply with a thread!
