You can look at the FTP server and client, which is effectively what you are trying to implement, but with private commands. The FTP protocol allows extra private commands to be implemented, which you might find easier than starting from scratch. Or look at the Magenta Systems IP Log Streaming Component, which is effectively a high level TCP client/server component that can be configured as a client or a server, and allows data to be sent between them. It's free code with an EXE demo that acts as a client or server or both at the same time. It will save you a lot of development for a custom server. http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magics.asp Angus -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
