Re: Communication between client and server

..........actually, you shoud also look up the concept of "remoting", as its
ideally suited to clients wanting to work with remote web servers and
exposed service layers.

Well, I would think about using a client that uses the default http(s)
ports 80 or 443, these ports would likely already be open on every
firewall.

Dear John
Lets assume I will do so - using TCPIP?
Which port should I use? will not it be triky to ask the firewalls of
10000 clients to allow this port?
TIA
Guy

It will be extremely tricky to have a web page update an attached device
on the client. Your easiest aproach would probably be to ask the client
to download an exe that was capable of communicating with the server.
The net classes in .net are very easy to work with from within an
executable and talking to a server is a few lines of code.

Hi all.

I develop a website that has an option to update hardware (via usb)

What is the best technology/method to communicate between the client
and server and still be safe.
The communication process includes asking the server several questions
and providing answers to it as well.

TIA
Guy
