Automatically upload a file to IIS web server

[anodizer]

Hi fellow developers,

I am developing a VB.NET Windows application, which should be able to send some files for remote storage on a trusted IIS web server.

As I haven't done anything similar before, can u please tell me whether it is possible? Can u also give me an overview of the steps that need to be taken?

Thanx in advance,
John G!

Uploading to webserver is usually done with FTP connection, you can find free classes for this use. In .Net 2.0 there is option for FTP with the System.Net.FtpWebRequest class, see the Planet Source Code example. You can also use the System.Net.WebClient to upload to FTP server, this should be even easier, see for instance the UploadFile method in documentation.
