You could write your own protocol... it is not the route I chose largely as I thought the by using HTTP and hacking into Andus's MCHTTP server script - I'd have a more general solution. The way this works is to use MCHTTP to serve up binary files to other machines on the LAN - it needs to be altered to work with LibUrl in 2.4 and I am not sure how well it deals with large files - but seems more than fine with images, HTML and MC stacks of a reasonable size... though it hasn't been tested with streaming MP3 files yet -:) Using TCP/IP and an MC based HTTP server you can also serve up files to people using browsers - though it would help if they configure their MIME settings for MC stacks (has someone got a cross platform script Windows - Mac) for this. If you/anyone want to work on this with me - mail me off list.
