Hello im making a TCP File sharer where you can select a file from your computer and send it it another computer over the internet with a client and server. I saw a tutorial on youtube for it and it had the source so i made it but when i tryed to connect it, it gave me an error Help PLEASE

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-F2UKzaSAk

Program that i made off it (Client and server) Below

Cant you just connect straight client to client? The server part is always most difficult with TCP in my opinion.

You must have a listening server at one side if you want to use TCP sockets.

I wouldn't use the code from that video as the server may cause file corruption if the buffer contains less than 1024 bytes of data per write.
I'll post a transfer system based on my previous work, expect it later on today.

i didnt mean excluding the tcplistener, but just having both in the same program. Instead of one server computer and many clients.

You can also use the socket class and SendFile. The tcpclient/server classes are userfriendly "wrappers" for the socket class

Guys i have no idea what ur talking about lol sorry i dont got much expirence in this type of stuff im trying to learn but if you guys have some code that i can add to it to make it work or some stuff i need to do i would apriciate it

Instead of one server computer and many clients.

You could run the server on different ports, that way it wouldn't have to be per machine.

Edit:
Removed code due to duplication.
The actual code can be found on page 3 (here).

Thanks bro it work just 2 thing first is where dose it save the File???? and second is this online so if i give this to my friend and he types in my ip i can send him the file

[mandai]

It will save/load the file from the current directory unless you change it.
You can use this online, but you will need to make sure any routers/firewalls are configured correctly.
