Re: copy files from internet using authenticate certificates

Just use ASP.NET on the server, configure your IIS server to use SSL and
require client certificates. You will have to configure the certifications
that you allow, on the server, so adding a new laptop to the list of
supported laptops means getting the client certificate and adding it to your
list of allowed users.

On the client, you'll need some kind of software that runs when the laptop
is connected to the network an the files are ready to upload. Simply post
the files to the asp.net web server. The HTTPS handshake will take care of
passing the client cert and validating it.
