The link below gives a really simple way to create a chat program. I want to modify it to transfer files as well. I tried reading files using the binary reader and then writing the information into another file, but the most I can accomplish is gibberish or copying the text of one document and putting it in a new document.

http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic21431.htm



The "!Binary!" is there to tell my program call SaveFile. It gets pulled out before writing to the file though.

Transferring a file can be as simple as reading data from one stream, and writing it to another. Using this code:



For example, to transfer a file through a network using a Socket, you can create a new NetworkStream which incapsulates the socket. Using the code I posted above, pass a FileStream to the FromStream parameter, and pass the NetworkStream to the ToStream parameter. BufferSize can be 1024 (1 KB).

Hope this helps you out.

Dim sReadFile As String
Dim sBil As String
Dim staff As String

sReadFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\cmg\Desktop\STAFF.txt" 'filename

Dim sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(sReadFile, True)
sBil = 0

Dim MyConnection As New OdbcConnection(MyConString)
MyConnection.Open()

Dim MyCommand As New OdbcCommand
MyCommand.Connection = MyConnection

MyCommand.CommandText = "SELECT StaffNo from meter_reader"

Dim MyDataReader As OdbcDataReader
MyDataReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader
Do While MyDataReader.Read
staff = MyDataReader("staffno")

If staff <> "" Then
sw.WriteLine(staff & ";")
End If
Loop

sw.Close()

MsgBox("Text file created", MessageBoxIcon.Information, "Created")
