Re: [DUG]: Dialup.

Thanks Jeremy,   yer we use PCA here as well for fixing our machines in Oz, works really well.   In this scenario the receiver would not be able to have PCA, so I think I might try the FTPapproach, what I was more getting at was handling the dialup connection if the receiver has 95/98 - it does not have RAS does it or am I out of the loop so what do I look at to program the receiving of the connection etc.   Cheers,   Matt. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Coulter To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 8:34 AM Subject: RE: [DUG]: Dialup. I suspect that the best thing to do would be to use the FTP protocal for sending and receiving files. You could write an FTP server for the dailup machine. Then the client could then be any ftp program.   BUT from my own excepriences here, you might be best to go one of these following ways:-   1. Use an NT or Linux box to do the dialing part and authentificaion and use the above FTP idea. 2. Purchase something like PCAnywhere which will then give you a nice GUI(but slow) interface, and also does authentification etc. and use its file transfere part, which also does SpeedSync. which only uploads the changed bytes of the program...IF it exists alreadyon their machine, therefore cutting back on traffice, and obv. time.   I have used both methods, but it really depends on the $$ involved, and the type of interface you want your client to have/see.   Hope this helps, Jeremy Coulter     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matthew Comb Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 10:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Dialup. Hi Guys,   if you had to write an app to allow someone dialling in to connect then to copy files back and forth where would you start?   I assume I would have to write an app for both ends. The receiver would be 95/98/NT but the dialler would be NT based.   Any thoughts?   Cheers,   Matt.   The Rules Have Changed...Get Paid to Surf the Web! http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=ggz487
