There was a request for a TCP file transfer system, with the ability to refuse incoming files at the server side. Its finished now, and I am really satisfied with it.
When you start the host, it will automatically show an open port you can listen on. Just press 'Listen' and you are ready to transfer files.
At the client side, you have to type in the IP of the host you want to connect to. If you are on the same network you can use the LAN IP address, else you would need to port forward and write the external IP. Future versions will hopefully support UPnP.
When you add files, you select the folder in the treeview to the left, and select the files you want to add in the listview to the right. Then you press enter.
Press 'Transfer' when you have selected the files you want.
In future updates there will be an estimate on how long time large files will use to be sent.

Is this the source code? Looks like an interesting project

[MrAksel]

Not source, but I will release it when every feature works.

Is their anyway to make this with port forwarding with out having a server that i have to have open 24/7 like so the server and client can communicate to lets say my friend's computer to mine?

If you want to use TCP then you will need to use port forwarding for any machines behind a router that deal with incoming connections.

is their anyway to make it so that people that are using a router do not have to go throw all that trouble to do that. Codenstuff had one that even though i was using a router we were able to connect and chat any way i can do that?

[MrAksel]

I said future updates willhave UPnP support.

what is the difference between UPnP and Tcp?

For any TCP server you will need to have an endpoint that accepts incoming connections.

UPnP / IGD is a feature used by some routers to allow automatic port redirection.

Oh thats exactly what i need so then their would be no need for the router to port forward right? so we would get the same thing done with tcp but with UpnP we would have no need for portforwarding?
