Can write a Web service with the following methods: Fuction StartTransfer() as string 'returning token Sub Read(B() as bytes, Length as int32, Token as string) function EndTransfer(Token as string) as (whatever you need to return) In the startTransfer, create a unique file (I use a file name with a random number at the end) and return that as a token. Then have him call the Read method inside a loop passing in say 512 bytes at a time. When he calls EndTransfer, then do your processing of that file and return what he needs from you. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
