Transfering Files with VB6...

Hi Everyone, heres a new part of my project im working on...

when someone rightclicks on a username and picks file transfer, it gets the users username and the IP address of the user to send file to and the the file transfer form pops up.

What im trying to figure out is which is a better way to do this...

With a winsock control or using internet transfer controls ( the one im leaning towards)

im assuming the main form with the winsock control will handle the incoming request, and if incomingdata is "filexfer" then open the file transfer window with the variables username and IP address... when the form opens should i then have it use the transfer protocol at that point and if so how would one go about setting that up. Thanks

winsock is useful between pc's , or in a specific network .. but when using normal servers it's better to use the internet transfere control .. I mean if u want to use normal server with normal opened port and normal knowen configuration then use INET but if you want to setup all yourself with your specific modules and specific configuration winsock is able to do that .. it has deep tools for that ..

hope this helps in your question .
