Hi
Collin
If
both PC's are visible via the internet I would use a simple TCP/IP socket
transfer. It is simple to program, robust and flexible. There is no
limit to the number of machines that can access the remote machine(s) and
transfer can be scheduled or on demand.
If you
want a simple example see the Delphi Chat demo, though there are also several
third party components which can do more.

Hi all,
For a remote monitoring application I need to
transfer a small amount (1-2k) of binary data between two computers from time
to time. I seem to remember another DUG member doing a similar thing but
cannot find the reference.
I suspect that the solution involved using a MIME
e-mail transfer in either direction. In one instance I would need to email the
remote PC and have it respond with the data I require, dependant on the nature
of a command sent. In another case the remote PC would automatically send
data (randomly without a request) when a certain condition existed .
At either PC I therefore need a simple SMPT
program to send a message and a background POP3 task to detect an email from
the remote PC and make the data available. The PCs will need to
connect via PSTN and ISP and the WWW.
I want to incorporate the above process into an
existing D3 program but don't want to re-invent the wheel.
Please can anyone point me to suitable code or a
better/simpler method.
Cheers
