There's components that do this for you (see above link).

You will need to have a server and a client. Two bodies of code. The
client will contact the server and will ask for a file to be sent or to
receive a file. After some handshake, the file can be broken into segments
and transmitted.

FTP is based on this, but the FTP protocol suffers from some very serious
security problems.

Secure FTP handshakes using Secure Sockets Layer, which allows data to
transfer far more securely. The Secure Shell protocol (SSH), with it's many
implementations on both Unix and Windows, also solves this problem (in a
different way).

This is an awfully big task for a newbie. I'd suggest you start with
something a little less frustrating, that hasn't already been done about two
dozen times.

If you want to go ahead, google some of these keywords and look for
developer resources.
Socket Programming
File Transfer Protocol
Secure Shell

Hope this helps,
