Re: Best way to communicate over net?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Well i would do this with a webservice

Another way could be to use remoting however i feel that the web is more
suitable for Webservices as i only use remoting in a managed environment

G'day all,

I have a requirement to communicate between two or more PCs over the
Internet, however I have no idea how to go about this.

I'm not talking about a chat programme as such, I want to have an
application running 24/7 on a 'base PC' connected to the internet that
can send out data (like a monitoring application). It's not designed
for chatting, but sending data used by my application (this can be in
the form of a binary file or xml or whatever).

I then want to have any other 'field PC' with my app and the right
username and password to be able to recieve this data live, and send
data back. I would also like to save all outgoing and incoming data on
the 'base PC' to a log of some sort on the Internet. I have a website
host (at host monster), if that helps? Perhaps it could log the data
there?

I don't want to have to play around with static IPs, just install my
app on the 'field PC' enter the right Username and Password in the
settings, and off it goes.

My initial thought was ftp, reading and writing data files, but it will
need to be faster than that - and I need it to recieve data instantly
(not scanning an ftp directory on intervals).

I hope I have explained myself well. Can anyone please suggest the
best method to use?

Many thanks,
MrQuan
